Small Drives

SapphireGroup
Hi Guys,

Is there any way of installing Astaro on drives smaller than 8gig? It's just I'm playing with Astaro on a machine which can use a Compactflash drive & it would be nice to use CF for the install, rather than dig out one of my old hard drives.

Cheers

Nik

    according to hardware requirements you can install the V5
    For versions 5.000 or later:

    CPU: PII > 400MHz
    RAM: 128 MB (256 recommended)
    CDROM: IDE or SCSI (see HCL for supported SCSI controller)
    Harddisk: > 5GB IDE or SCSI (see HCL for supported SCSI controller)
    NIC: at least 2 PCI NICs (see HCL for support chipsets)

    But V6 needs:
    CPU:  Intel Pentium II > 900MHz
    RAM: 256MB (512MB/1GB recommended)
    CDROM: IDE or SCSI (see HCL for supported SCSI controller)
    Harddisk: > 9 GB hard disk drive and above (see HCL for supported SCSI controller)
    NIC: at least 2 PCI NICs (see HCL for support chipsets)

    I think it's actually 8 or 10GB for 5.x, even though they say 5GB.

    Theoretically, you could resize the partitions after installation, and copy them to a flash drive,
    BUT
    ASL writes so much to the disk, it'd destroy a flash drive quickly.
