I'm more talking about allowing some people on a individual basis the use of the machine to do development. Example, developer named Joe would like to have his workspace available thru SSH and don't have the funds to have a server online (or don't want to bother). > In my opinion, the best way to give back is to be involved in > producing Debian; testing, packaging, bug fixing etc and there are > many ways to do that, some documented here: > > https://www.debian.org/intro/help I'll take a look at this. For now, I need to be able to do a complete re-installation of my Debian instance without using the automated installer offered by OVH/One-provider. This give me only one partition of 2 Tb in RAID-0 (Mirror) 3x2 To. I need more than one partition and don't really need this level of RAID. Something like RAID-5 (parity) would work great to be fail safe. I'm good to do the installation and use debootstrap to build the server but there seem to be problem with either doing the setup for network upon reboot or else... I have some trouble shoot to do on how will it get to work. I don't have access to the machine via KVM so I need to work using the "rescue" mode. That is a network boot that give me access to a shell, partition the disk, format the partition, mount the partition, run debootstrap, setup grub, configure the network and... reboot. It's the first time I have to build a server without access to KVM... Thanks ;-) > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
