Re: How to add files to an existing img partition.

[DC]

Hi Ottavio,


Yes, I know all this.  As stated, I've already created images with 
BxImage, then performed the install with Qemu Manager, which installs 
the Operating System, into the image that was generated by BxImage.


Also, I know you can't add files to the image, inside the context of 
Qemu.  That's what I used PowerIso for.  Ultimage Imager also does this.


PowerIso was able to add files to the 98 image.  But when trying to add 
files to the XP image (in PowerIso), it threatened to truncate folder 
names.  In Ultimate Imager, it wasn't possible to add files.


So my question (after rethinking this) really is about commercial or 
free tools that do 2 things:


1)  Install operating systems into a repository that can be opened in 
Bochs (or some other container), in Android


2) Add files into that container.  If possible, be able to resize the 
file holding the container, as well as resize the partitions defined inside.



Regards,


DC
