Description

the current pain point is maintaing two operating systems one for VM and one for Kicbase kic base here https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/tree/master/deploy/kicbase and iso here https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/tree/master/deploy/iso one idea would be moving ISO to ubuntu but that would make ISO much bigger or we could change docker to be buildroot
