Just for clarification and in case anyone else needs help with this, the steps I followed in Virtualbox were as follows: 1. Create a new VM and select to add an existing disk image. I navigated to the uncompressed file and selected it. 2. I then went into the properties of the VM and changed the controller type to SCSI and readded the disk image. Since I quickly realized I wanted more space to use as my distfiles/portage server for my network, I then ran 3. VBoxManage clonehd /path/to/base-dist.vmdk /path/to/base-dist.vdi --format VDI ; VBoxManage modifyhd /path/to/base-dist.vdi --resize 102400 4. I then went into the settings and selected the new image to have the disk space available and partitioned the drive with the new space set aside for /usr/portage/ > I will probably be uploading updated images every few days or so. > > -a > > > > Hope this is useful.
