Just for clarification and in case anyone else needs help with this, |
| 13 |
the steps I followed in Virtualbox were as follows: |
| 14 |
1. Create a new VM and select to add an existing disk image. I |
| 15 |
navigated to the uncompressed file and selected it. |
| 16 |
2. I then went into the properties of the VM and changed the |
| 17 |
controller type to SCSI and readded the disk image. |
| 18 |
Since I quickly realized I wanted more space to use as my |
| 19 |
distfiles/portage server for my network, I then ran |
| 20 |
3. VBoxManage clonehd /path/to/base-dist.vmdk /path/to/base-dist.vdi |
| 21 |
--format VDI ; VBoxManage modifyhd /path/to/base-dist.vdi --resize |
| 22 |
102400 |
| 23 |
4. I then went into the settings and selected the new image to have |
| 24 |
the disk space available and partitioned the drive with the new space |
| 25 |
set aside for /usr/portage/ |
