Hello, for a distributed computing project we want to execute a statically linked executable inside a VirtualBox on different computers. At the moment I use a preinstalled debian VirtualBox that is 1.3 GB uncompressed (or 300 MB compressed). This is not acceptable because we also want to do snapshots of this VirtualBox on the client and not consume too much hard disk space.
I got the tip that I could build a VirtualBox with emdebian and thus limit the used disk space. I than tried to understand the documentation and also tried to install using the .iso files. The installation failed because it couldn't find a package. I'm relative new to the concept of bootstrapping, fake-root, cross compiling and stuff. Does anyone has a simple guide on how I can create a VirtualBox based installation of emdebian for amd64? I than want to test if our application runs in this environment.
