I am migrating to #qubes and I want to dump my entire Linux system into a standalone Qube, but so far failed doing this. I would appreciate some hints about how this could be done. The idea is to have the old system accessible from withing the new Qubes system, for occasional use when I find the stuff that's undoubtedly still missing in my Qubes setup. I have managed to install a different OS into a standalone Qube from a .iso file, just to test/troubleshoot, but have not been able to figure out how to turn my old Linux installation into a .iso file. #dd lets me write some sort of image of the entire old drive (using of=/dev/sdb/nameofoldinstallation.iso) , but it seems that dd maybe only calls it an ISO file. I don't know. When I try to #"Boot qube from CD-ROM" , it results in some error message that it cannot read the .iso file that I made using dd.
