These notes are based on Qubes 3.0. Trying out [[https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2015/12/08/qubes-OS-3-1-rc1-has-been-released/|3.1 RC1]] shall also be done.



== Install Debian Templates ==

 * install wheezy template: {{{sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-debian-7}}}
 * install jessie template: {{{sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-debian-8}}}
 * create a stretch template based on the jessie one:
{{{
    qvm-clone debian-8 debian-9
    qvm-run -a debian-9 gnome-terminal
    // adjust /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
    // unclear atm whether to use qubes-r3.list or qubes-r31.list
    apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
}}}
 * repeat similarily to create a sid template.

 * Take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3.list - there is already a line to uncoment: 

{{{
    deb [arch=amd64] http://deb.qubes-os.org/r3.1/vm scretch-testing main
}}}

== Using 4.x kernels with Qubes 3.0 ==

Qubes 3.0 comes with a 3.18 kernel by default. An update to 4.x kernels is easiest by installing the kernel package from the upcoming Qubes 3.1 release:

{{{sudo qubes-dom0-update --releasever=3.1 kernel}}}

or 

{{{sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-unstable kernel}}}
