Description : virtme-ng is a tool that allows to easily and quickly recompile and test a Linux
: kernel, starting from the source code.
:
: It allows to recompile the kernel in few minutes (rather than hours), then the
: kernel is automatically started in a virtualized environment that is an exact
: copy-on-write copy of your live system, which means that any changes made to the
: virtualized environment do not affect the host system.
:
: In order to do this a minimal config is produced (with the bare minimum support
: to test the kernel inside qemu), then the selected kernel is automatically built
: and started inside qemu, using the filesystem of the host as a copy-on-write
: snapshot.
:
: This means that you can safely destroy the entire filesystem, crash the kernel,
: etc. without affecting the host.
:
: Kernels produced with virtme-ng are lacking lots of features, in order to reduce
: the build time to the minimum and still provide you a usable kernel capable of
: running your tests and experiments.
:
: virtme-ng is based on virtme, written by Andy Lutomirski .
