And... here's an about 25 minute long video tutorial on how to do what I think you want. Yes I probably had better things to do, but nothing came to mind that seemed more fun... :-)
Thank you so much! A full walkthrough always helps.
There are some comments inline on what happens and why.
Btw, you worry too much about your typing. Going slow is totally fine, anyone watching can just speed it up and/or skip around.
Unfortunately I don't know much about video formats and editing, so this is straight from VirtualBox in webm format, whatever that is.
webm is a new(ish) format Google whipped up to try to skirt around some patents and avoid all the copyright crap revolving around other formats. It's been around for a few years now, so any half-assed player can handle it.
Feel free to ask me on or off list if you have any questions or run into any problems!
1) Thank you for (accidentally) reminding me that unmounting /usr may stop some programs from working. I sometimes forget that "core" utilities like vim et al live in /usr/* on most systems.
2) I notice you use 'halt -p' directly, even in multi-user mode. Isn't it safer to use 'shutdown'?
