- Start vmware workstation.

Do this twice, for amd64 and x86, in separate VMs...

- Create new VM.

- Use Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop .iso, do easy install,

realname FatELF, username fatelf, password fatelf.

- Log in after install, fire up a terminal.

- Run update manager, get the latest and greatest.

- System -> Administration -> Login Window -> Security -> Enable Automatic Login

- sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake mercurial openssh-server gcc-multilib

- hg clone http://hg.icculus.org/icculus/fatelf

- cd fatelf

- mkdir cmake-build

- cd cmake-build

- cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

- make

- sudo make install

- cd

- scp the fatelf version of Ubuntu .debs to the box (or feel free to spend

hours patching and building things).

- sudo dpkg -i *.deb

- sudo apt-get autoremove

- (there's probably a better way to do this next thing.)

- sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/DO_NOT_RUN_APT_UPDATES-sources.list-SERIOUSLY

- sudo rm /boot/*-11-* /boot/memtest86+

- Reboot to pick up new kernel.

- cd fatelf/test

- ./test.sh (see if anything fails. It shouldn't!)

- Shutdown and put this disk image aside for now.

After both machines are good to go...

- Add the x86 disk to the amd64 VM, so it's /dev/sdb and the amd64 one is sda.

- Boot the amd64 virtual machine from a Ubuntu install .iso, 64 or 32 bit should do.

- "Try Ubuntu without installing"

- Fire up a terminal.

- sudo mount -t ext3 -r /dev/sda1 /mnt

- cp -av /mnt/home/fatelf/fatelf .

- sudo umount /mnt

- cd fatelf/misc

- Consider setting a vmware snapshot, here.

- sudo ./merge.sh

- Pray everything worked, or all this time was wasted.

- Shut down the VM, remove the x86 disk. Delete the x86 disk and VM.

- Restart the amd64 VM, see if it worked. Should be able to choose x86 or amd64

from the grub menu now.

- Run vmware-toolbox and shrink the virtual disk.

- Shutdown.

- Zip up the vmware files and upload.
