Dev environment try-it section contradicts metal3-dev-env readme #569
Description
The try-it section of the book states these pre-reqs:
- System with CentOS 9 Stream or Ubuntu 22.04
- Bare metal preferred, as we will be creating VMs to emulate bare metal hosts [emphasis mine]
- Run as a user with passwordless sudo access
- Minimum resource requirements for the host machine: 4C CPUs, 16 GB RAM memory
While the metal3-dev-env readme says:
Note: These scripts are invasive and will reconfigure part of the host OS in addition to package installation, and hence it is recommended to run dev-env in a VM. Please read the scripts to understand what they do before running them on your machine.
Following the book page, it's quite unlikely one will see that note before running make a few times.
More than the contradiction between documents or the do your homework disclaimer, what would have helped me immensely would have been to know beforehand that I could just give it a try in a VM with the supported OS instead of working out how to run the target in my non supported OS. Maybe how to run the dev env in a VM is something worth adding to the book documentation as an option?
