note: please read the README text on https://codeberg.org/sabotage-linux/sabotage/ for a quick introduction about how to use the sabotage package/build manager, and commands that you may want to know. the compressed images of the 0.9.6 series extract to a 4GB uncompressed raw HDD image file, which is split in 2 partitions, /boot [100MB] and /. ca 1 GB of that spaced is used, containing about 200 packages. extract images using xzcat image.img.xz > image.img you can use the uncompressed image directly with qemu: qemu-system-i386 image.img qemu-system-x86_64 image.img or convert it into virtualbox format VBoxManage convertfromraw image.img image.vdi root password: sabotage you can also loopmount the image to inspect/use the data it contains (for example the binary packages in /opt/packagename), or to copy the rootfs. use fdisk -l image.img or file -s image.img to find out the start sector of the partition you're interested in, multiply it by 512 (sectorsize) and use that as an offset into the image file when mounting. # file -s sabotage-0.9.2-x86_64_5e7eda8.img sabotage-0.9.2-x86_64_5e7eda8.img: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 204800 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x83, starthead 223, startsector 206848, 20764672 sectors, code offset 0x31 # mkdir /mnt/sdb1 # mkdir /mnt/sdb2 # mount sabotage-0.9.2-x86_64_5e7eda8.img /mnt/sdb1 -o offset=$((2048*512)) # mount sabotage-0.9.2-x86_64_5e7eda8.img /mnt/sdb2 -o offset=$((206848*512)) # latest image is sabotage-1.1.24-x86_64-desktop-1f74666.img.xz sha512sum sabotage-1.1.24-x86_64-desktop-1f74666.img.xz 760f384bbe72d2af649aeffd62390b8891a530e98e701f277975ede0e04aee16fd722693128f390e7891e6b237368f19d5ca0f8b22862963bf955957e1fd5038 sabotage-1.1.24-x86_64-desktop-1f74666.img.xz has been tested with qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga cirrus -m 256, which allows to startx after boot to get a desktop.
