I mean a file with an ext2 file system I have created with: $ dd if=/dev/null of=live-rw bs=1GB seek=1 # for a 100MB sized image file $/sbin/mkfs.ext2 -F live-rw
Because I was trying it with files instead of partitions. Anyway, If I tried doing it in your way: I boot the VM with the live cd in the CD/DVD device. But, what do you mean by 'partition'? Because, in VirtualBox I can create a .VDI disk, but how can I make an ext file system on it? On 29/04/2012, Rui Miguel P.
