Slackware Aarch64 and Virtualization

Work in progress. See notes here.

Software Requirements

  • Full installation of Slackware Aarch64
  • Qemu built with the aarch64 target
  • libvirt as the back end
  • virt-manager as the GUI for local and remote access
  • netcat-openbsd to enable remote connections to libvirt

The stock “nc” package (netcat) should be removed from your system to avoid a conflict with netcat-openbsd.

SlackBuilds

TODO: provide build scripts? or packages? to users.
