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.

has been tested with qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga cirrus -m 256, which
allows to startx after boot to get a desktop.
