"Downloads
For source see the downloads directory.
In Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
sudo yum install libguestfs-tools
On Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools
Open a disk image:
guestfish --ro -i -a disk.img
Other distros, compiling from source ..."
So on Ubunu Server 14:
What is 'Ubuntu Server 14'? Is that 14.04?
Two things would help here:
(1) libguestfs >= 1.26 supports splitting out large dependencies like
GFS2/ZFS/... Unfortunately 14.04 has libguestfs 1.24 which doesn't
support this, but later versions of Ubuntu have it. For more
background on this see:
http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/analysis-of-the-size-of-libguestfs-d...
(2) In Fedora we split the 'libguestfs-tools' package into:
- libguestfs-tools-c : Contains just the tools written in C & OCaml.
- libguestfs-tools : Depends on libguestfs-tools-c and contains the
additional tools written in Perl.
- virt-v2v : virt-p2v & virt-v2v have additional dependencies so I
have packaged those separately.
This removes the need to depend on Perl packages in the common case
where you only want the main tools.
For more information see:

This is something to ask Hilko about.

After this operation, 108 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
I'm thinking this might be better?

Also, does anyone know how long http://virt-tools.org has been down?
