What I mean is that vmware and virtual box differ from docker/lxc in that vmware and virtual box virtualize hardware (create a software emulation of the hardware) while docker is a container.
In Vmware and Virtualbox your guest os boots as if it was a machine while on docker the kernel is already instantiated and docker/lxc create an isolated compartment within, that is, there is no "real" boot process in docker. But I do not know what you are trying to do. Regards On Fri, May 16, 2014 at 3:12 PM, Yiliang Bao <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sebastian, > > Thanks for the quick help.
