Installing an OS on a file instead of a real disk complicates things but this
makes development and testing easier.
So let's start by allocating a new file of size 100M by doing ``fallocate -l100M
image``(some distro's don't have ``fallocate`` so you can do ``dd if=/dev/zero
of=image bs=1M count=100`` instead). And then we format it like we would format
a disk with ``fdisk image``. It automatically creates a MBR partition table for
a disk with ``fdisk image``. It automatically creates an MBR partition table for

afterwards just use the default options for everything and keep spamming 'enter'
