‘k, that would work … so *if* I’m reading the docs right, the intiial build of the file system / install of guest OS, happens on an interactive remote ssh session, then I’d shutdown and restart it redirecting output … ?

I’m plannin gon building a 10.x system over Christmas to start playing with this, just trying to do as much research as possible before … 

thx
