# for building Virtualbox Additions
yum install gcc bzip2 make kernel-devel-`uname -r`
# for compiling ruby
yum install gcc-c++ zlib-devel openssl-devel readline-devel sqlite3-devel

** Remove stuff
yum erase wireless-tools gtk2 libX11 hicolor-icon-theme avahi freetype bitstream-vera-fonts

** VirtualBox Additions
- Devices -> Install Guest Additions...
- sudo mount -o ro -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
- sudo sh /mnt/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
- Error about Xwindows install - should be okay (?)

** vagrant user
groupadd admin
useradd -G admin vagrant
passwd vagrant
# choose "vagrant" as the password
# set up sudo permissions:
visudo
# Add the following lines at the bottom:
# # Vagrant user should be able to sudo
# %admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL



# Comment out the following line:
# Defaults requiretty
# (otherwise ssh <command> doesn't work)

# Add the variable "PATH" to the "Defaults env_keep" list.
# (otherwise sudo cleans the path, and loses ruby, which ohai needs)
# (See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257616)

# Add the /usr/sbin and /sbin to the path:
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin' >> ~vagrant/.bashrc

** Log out as root, log in as vagrant

** Add yum sources for most recent released version of chef and ruby available through elff the
and epel repos
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://download.elff.bravenet.com/5/i386/elff-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

** Install chef
yum --enablerepo=elff-testing install chef

** Add Vagrant's "insecure" public key
mkdir .ssh
chmod 755 .ssh
curl http://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/raw/master/keys/vagrant.pub > .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 644 .ssh/authorized_keys

** Fiddle with MAC addres
- sudo /sbin/ifconfig
- write down MAC address of eth0 (eg. 08:00:27:60:AE:41)

sudo yum clean headers packages dbcache expire-cache
- shut down vm

** Export and package
