DRBL

Amazon Linux

This is not a supported configuration. During install it checks for the OS version and if the corresponding repos are installed. These steps will trick it into running the installer.

• Install required packages and repos

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
sudo yum install https://rpmfind.net/linux/centos/7.9.2009/os/x86_64/Packages/memtest86+-5.01-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core/x86_64/RPMS.drbl-stable/drbl-2.32.10-drbl1.noarch.rpm

• Create repo file to trick installer /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

[Not used]

• Create release file to trick installer /etc/redhat-release

Notes

No package memtest86+ available.
No package ecryptfs-utils available.

Do you want to install the network installation boot images so that you can let the client computer install some GNU/Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat Linux, Fedora Core, Mandriva, CentOS and OpenSuSE...) via a network connection?  !!NOTE!! This will download a lot of files (Typically > 100 MB) so it might take a few minutes. If the client computer has a hard drive that you may install GNU/Linux onto, put a Y here. If you answer "no" here, you can run "drbl-netinstall" to install them later.
