This won’t take long at all (less than a minute). When that completes, you’ll be asked to create a standard user account ( Figure D). This account will have sudo privileges, so you can actually work with the server. With the account out of the way, select a time zone and then it’s time to select a partition option ( Figure E). Once the drive is partitioned, the operating system packages will download from the chosen mirror and then be installed. This process will take about two to five minutes (depending upon the speed of your network connection). When this completes, you’ll be asked how you want to handle updates (no automatic updates, install security updates automatically, manage system with Landscape). The next step is to select the software you want included ( Figure F). I highly recommend you go through this carefully and select only the software you need to fulfill the purpose of this deployment. You will notice, during the package selection step, that there are no container options (no Docker or Kubernetes). For that, you’ll have to add post-install. Once you’ve made that selection, the installation will continue and complete. When prompted, install the GRUB boot loader, set the system clock and reboot. If you’re using a VirtualBox VM, you’ll have to remove the ISO image from the Storage Devices (in the VM Settings) before starting the server virtual machine. When the server boots, log in with the user you created and start installing the necessary software for your rollout.
