Black-friday sale to French fries?... Is that a server name? What's the specification?
This was mostly a joke to get more post in the 2018 thread. The bumping of 2019 don't annoy me and I absolutely didn't want to prevent any from stopping bumping it. Sorry for misunderstand. I shouldn't have written this comment. Sorry about that.
I have an idea!
@FAT32 please merge 2019 and 2018 topics (vanilla even allows that?) and we will have 250+ pages! This is not cheating, right?

Anyone watch Mr Robot?
I did, one season or two and get bored

That actually really cool
that show has its moments ...
But yeah, go tired of all the wtf you don't understand without explanation
Ok now I want french fries again.
With a fried egg or hot dog or chicken... or all of them.
Or pollo a la brasa.

I want a beer before my exam. Rum after.
@plumberg - here are some notes on using the rescue image to do the needful so as to add a swap partition. Note that I don't know whether this will make a difference for you actually being able to install whatever ISO on your 128 MB ram KVM deal, but maybe it will be useful info for you in any case.
I'm doing this on a 512 MB ram KVM Lite with Debian 9 template. It came with a swap partition already setup, but for the purposes of testing I removed the swap partition and resized the / filesystem to fill the whole disk as a starting point.
First thing, boot into rescue mode from the solusVM panel - it will tell you a root password to use, and you can ssh to the rescue image.
Next run
fdisk -l- here's what I see on my system:The /dev/vdb is the rescue partition
We'll want to be working with /dev/vda - our agenda will be to resize the filesystem, then delete / recreate a smaller root partition, and then add a swap partition in the extra space we now have available on the disk.
before we get too far into the weeds with
resize2fsandfdiskwe should probably first mount the root partition to see how much room we have to play with. I'm assuming you'll be okay with a swap partition of 256 MB but if you want to try something smaller or larger then go for it. (I generally prefer not to actually use swap but I will usually setup a small swap partition just in case it helps some braindead software feel better about itself or whatever)anyway ...
Looks like I need at least about 1.1 GB for my root filesystem, and I've got about 15 GB to play with.
So since I only want 256 MB for the swap, and I've got 15 GB on the disk, let's just resize the filesystem on /dev/vda1 to 14.5 GB.
I'll specify the size in MB when I run
resize2fsso let's calculate that now for future reference14.5 * 1024 = 14848
Before I run
resize2fsI need to do anfsck -fon /dev/vda1Next we'll delete and recreate the actual /dev/vda1 partition so it is 14.5 GB - and then we'll add a second partition and set it as swap
now we're going to use

I heard @VirMach started another business.
it occurs to me that resizing the filesystem may be unnecessary if you're just going to install a new OS on the /dev/vda1 partition anyway - but just in case you want to know how to preserve an existing filesystem, the procedure detailed above is how you would do that.
@plumberg - let me know if any questions, and if the swap partition helps at all with your install from ISO on a 128 MB ram agenda.
Also should note that you'll probably want to set swappiness to 0 or disable swap altogether after you're done with the install - so as not to run into problems with excessive disk i/o due to using the swap so much.
@VirMach Will there be any chances that we can still apply the flash deal code? Especially those big boys?
If you like all the cellphone hacking they do on Mr. Robot, check out Termux for Android. Pretty nice way to script and hack from your phone in a pinch.
Regarding swap for install, could you just swap to a file instead of making the partition, or is that not compatible with the installers?
Last exam before a break of one week in 1h15
@randomq
for termux I use it all day erryday
I would be surprised if installers would do anything with a swap file - swap partition seems easy to find and identify as such, but an /etc/fstab entry in an unmounted filesystem maybe not so much ....
You might be able to switch to another VT and mkswap, swapon a file at the right point in the install. It's been a while since I did a non kickstart/template/cloud install lol...
ETA: though I did install alpine via netboot.xyz the other day, just to try out that functionality on a new kvm lite. I need to put a win10 iso out there and try that next...
I need to relax ....
