Supermin Appliance

A supermin appliance contains only lists of files and directories.

The contents of the referenced files are  only  copied into an ad-hoc filesystem whenever libguestfs starts a virtual machine.

These are tiny appliances (similar to virtual machines), usually around 100KB in size,

which get fully instantiated on-the-fly in a fraction of a second when you need to boot one of them.

Supermin

Supermin is a tool for building supermin appliances.

This program used to be called febootstrap.
