Hi Punky, It may consider to bundle a tool called Moblin Image Creator(MIC) with the VM/LiveCD system, and use it to generate custom Voyage image. http://v1.moblin.org/projects/projects_image-creator.php Quoted from the page: "Moblin Image Creator is a tool aimed at making life easier for the mobile and embedded developer. The tool is designed to be extremely flexible with platform-specific knowledge isolated to a platform definition." Features: * creating a platform-specific build-environment, or "project" * creating a platform-specific target file-system * providing user selectable "feature sets" (or fsets) to install bundles of packages that provide some high-level functionality * the choice of a fully functional graphical user interface (GUI) or a purely command line interface * wrappers for chrooting into a buildroot or target file-system (such as, bind mounting important system directories and copying over network configuration files) * wrappers for opening Xephyr windows for testing target file-systems * utilities for creating live USB images of target file-systems, for easy testing of multiple target file-systems Although MIC is used to create and customize Moblin image(Atom based) , I found that it is not difficult to add support for another processor architecture and distribution. I have tried to add old x86 support for EeePC 701. It just need to add configuration for the architecture.
