Since both of you agree that I never said what I wanted, I guess I'm |
8 |
guilty. Somehow I thought with a subject line like: |

Again about a gentoo vm appliance for vbox |
11 |
|
12 |
It would be clear that I am seeking a recent gentoo vm appliance for |
13 |
vbox. |

|
15 |
Sorry about so much sniveling as well. |

Last time I asked here about it someone had such things available but |
18 |
I never got one to work. |

I guess you all know that a vm appliance is a pretty narrow thing. |
21 |
They are seen as portable vm appliances to a more or less major |
22 |
degree. A ready made gentoo vm OS that you set in a directory and |
23 |
click. Vmbox comes up and you start the thing. No puttering around |
24 |
guessing about kernel options, installing the necessities etc etc. |
25 |
|
26 |
So is that clear then? I wanted URLS to such critters. |
27 |
|
28 |
And as far as google finding them. I do not have the luck you |
29 |
apparently have had. My best hit is gentoo profile 2006 running |
30 |
kernel 2.6-15-r1. |
31 |
|
32 |
Needless to say that will be a fairly hefty upgrade and a good chance |
33 |
of having serious upgrade problems for that big a jump. |
