Cloud images. Is there a minimal install version like the ISOs ?

Post by 0898andy » 2018/01/11 16:15:45

Hi I'm looking at the qcow2 cloud images for Centos 7 in http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/

Can anyone tell me if there is the equivalent of a minimal ISO in the cloud image format ?

Regards
Andy

I believe they are all minmal installs.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I noticed that the cloud image is installed on a single partition. I would like to split that at least into two partitions, with /var or /var/log on its own partition. Is the easiest way just to attach another storage device there?
