    I'm definitely not "insisting", nor would I have the authority to do so. I just gave some advice. But now I'm leaving this thread. Good luck!

    QEMU which at least gives you a virtual machine on the HD you just destroyed.

    Can you explain this a little more? How would this work? I'm unclear how this circumvents the issue of trying to run a program when you just wiped it? where would qemu the program be run from and also where would the image be stored? and you are making a new image? I dont understand this.

    It resides in RAM, much like your existing filesystem- BRIEFLY. You'll still want to install from an image that resides in RAM, or it'll probably die before you get a bootloader installed. You'd have the image wherever you wrote it on the disk.

    Oh that's cool. That was me who made that issue. Nice to see it was noticed.

    To update; I managed to get it installed myself however fyi the aruba performs much worse than my gestiondbi $2 promo one.

    I can run 3 browser instances simultaneous on the gestion however any more than 1 on aruba and it craps out with errors galore. A good test though nonetheless to find where the line is in terms of cutting price.

  • I am wondering how it actually sets things up though?

    On the other server I used the script with when it was working previous, when I do lsblk nothing shows at all. Just no output so I have no idea why that is? or how it actually setup the system. Maybe it is actually magic like it said in the readme :).
