This is, of course a VM, in this case under esxi.

• Define a new machine with 8 CPU / 4 GB RAM / 100 GB drive space.
• Initially, set up the network on the Management Network, use BIOS boot, add a few seconds delay.
• Mount the Alma-9 .iso file, and power on the VM
• After the .iso boots, skip the disk check, go into 'Install AlmaLinux 9'
• Don't change anything in the package list, stay with 'Minimal Install'
• For disk partitions;
  • Use 'Custom';
  • Click 'Create Default Partitions';
  • Remove the 'Home' partition, enlarge 'Swap' to 8 GiB ¹⁾, 'Boot' to 2 GiB, and 'Root' to 90 GiB.
    • I try to set volume names of Root, Boot, and Swap;

• Click 'Done', in the window that opens, click 'Accept Changes';
• Set a root password, remember what it is, you'll need it later;
• Click 'Begin Installation';
• Watch the install progress;
• If all is well, click 'Reboot System';
• Log in as root at the console, don't lose that password yet!
• Update to current with

  yum update
  echo "PermitRootLogin yes" > /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/01-permitrootlogin.conf
  systemctl restart sshd
  # And just to be safe;
  reboot

• On the Server Oxygen (Chef Server), run;

    * knife bootstrap 10.0.5.229 -U root -N <hostname>
