[I'm running virutal box] I followed James W's walk thru of how to use it with Virtual box. There is apparently no `portage' installed which meant that emerge would fail since /etc/make.profile is a dangling link. Once that was resolved I kept getting really strange output from emerge. It appeared to be the output of something like vmstat or maybe the upper portion of `top'. Stuff about user loads and such... right after the first few lines of emerge output, and nothing was getting emerged. Very possible it is pilot error; here is what the output of emerging gpm looks like: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] sys-libs/gpm-1.20.6 USE="(-selinux)" 1,251 kB Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 1,251 kB >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-libs/gpm-1.20.6 >>> Jobs: 0 of 1 complete, 1 running Load avg: 1.75, 1.16, 0.95 And there it stays... so emerge does not work. So it appears, so far, the appliance is not usable on Vbox. Oh, I'm referring to the 4GB version. The 10GB version demands a password so couldn't even start on it.
