====== x86 ====== x86 images are targeted at PC type devices. ===== Installing an x86 image virtually (Hyper-V) ===== You can install an x86 image in a virtual machine. This small set of steps should assist you in setting it up for Hyper-V. ==== Create VHDX ==== - Download an x86 image (probably x64 if you're going this far) in the "combined-ext4.img.gz" format - Extract the gz so you just have the .img - Get a copy of qemu-img - ''qemu-img.exe convert source.img -O vhdx -o subformat=dynamic dest.vhdx'' ==== Create virtual machine ==== - Memory: your choice (do not enable dynamic memory) - Processor: your choice, benefits above 2 may not be seen depending on workload - IDE Controller: Hard Drive: Select the vhdx created before - Network Adapter: How you configure these is up to you, but you should create at least 2 (one for WAN one for LAN). If you only create 1, it will be assigned to LAN. The last port created will always be assigned to WAN (if > 1).
