# Mitzune - """Pseudo-virtualization""" for poor lads who doesn't have VMX on # their processors This is just a prototype that i'm using to test Copacabana Linux on my PC via chroot(8) since i don't have support to VMX in my low-end 10-year-old processor. Yeah, fuck you Intel, People's Republic of China, TSMC and modern car manufacturers. And fuck you too, Brazil gov't. I don't deserve being smashed by taxes and inflation and don't getting any nearly decent state services back. So while i can't afford a new laptop, i will use this. If this succeeds, i will remade it in Go, with faggotries like JSON for configu ration et cetera. And because Shell is fucking ugly. # What is the main idea? I don't know yet, i'll be polishing for sure, but is that you have a prefix (~/mitzune) where you can extract/copy another operating system of same architecture root files (which can be saved on an tarball) and then configure it. After that, in theory, you'd just need to run Mitzune + the operation + the prefix name. Example: mitzune -n minilinux -R ~/Downloads/minilinux-rootfs-0.4.2a-x86_64.tar.xz -c This will create a prefix with the name of "minilinux", using the minilinux-rootfs-0.4.2a-x86_64.tar.xz as the tarball to be extracted. You can also create a Shell-style configuration file using the -C option, but i couldn't manage to get this working yet... :^| It's basically containers made by someone who doesn't ever used containers before. This is sure to fail, i know it is. # How do i install it? I've designed it to be used as an user-local script, not system-wide. You can install it using this pipeline, which extracts the tarball release from xz and un-tar it directly to your home directory: xz -cd mitzune.?.?-?.NOARCH.Linux.tar.xz | tar -xvf - -C ~/ But, before you ask me, this is a work in progress. At this moment, 17th September 2021, you can not chroot into a "prefix" (i need a better name for this) using Mitzune, you'll need to do it manually; like you can't map a prefix (using find(1) + xz(1) (for compressing it)) yet. # How do i use it? For now, i didn't wrote a manual or even the print_help function yet, so you will need to read the code. Sorry... :^( But, if you mind helping me, you can write a small text about the functions or even the print_help function and pull-request-it. I would be grateful. :^) # Who can i blame for it? Me, Luiz Antonio (a.k.a takusuman). # How can i share it?
