Does this mean you want to run OSv on an actual physical machine, not a VM inside a hypervisor? If this is the case the bigger problem you'll encounter is that OSv will not have a driver for your network card, and probably also not for your disk drive. One of the things which simplified OSv's development is that we didn't need to implement a hundred drivers for different hardware. Doing this is not impossible, but will not be trivial either. > > Thanks for any help provided! > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "OSv Development" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/osv-dev/531F2E6E-8EA3-48C8-9E4E-5DF9AAF4A023%40comcast.net > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/osv-dev/531F2E6E-8EA3-48C8-9E4E-5DF9AAF4A023%40comcast.net?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OSv Development" group.
