Subject: [gentoo-user] Virtual machines, and creating bootable images
Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2016 06:46:28

1 I am looking at creating a gentoo install which I can use for my hosted
2 servers. The documentation I have seen about doing so is to mount an
3 "ISO" and then dd the mounted device to a data drive, make the data
4 drive bootable (set it in the settings for hosting provider) and attach
5 it to a server.
6
7 I want to be able to build these images and test them in a virtual
8 machine on my local server, then end up doing what I need on the hosting
9 provider to get them in place.
10
11 Quick research hasn't given me any clear guidance as to how I can export
12 the virtual machine (ie. what even can do this) to an image that can be
13 copied to a drive to produce a bootable drive.
14
15 Anyone have some good starting points to think about this?
