DESCRIPTION

testdrive is a utility that allows you to easily download the latest Ubuntu development release and run it in a KVM virtual machine.

The global configuration file, /etc/testdriverc, is sourced first, followed by the user's local configuration file, ~/.testdriverc, and xdg configuration ~/.config/testdrive/testdriverc.

Users wanting to change the behavior default configuration can make a copy of the global configuration /etc/testdriverc, and either store it as ~/.testdriverc, or as another file and pass that filename on the command line.

Downloaded ISO files and disk images are stored in ~/.cache/testdrive, and may optionally be cleaned out, periodically.

FILES

/etc/testdriverc, ~/.testdriverc, ~/.config/testdrive/testdriverc, ~/.cache/testdrive
