Hi.
Looking at a process for digitalocean to repartition a VM. The docs I'm looking at discuss the process for debian.
Anyone have steps/docs for doing this with centos/fedora?
In particular, the docs I'm looking at require the
grml-rescueboot, and the grml.iso which in the site/url are debian related.
Are there similar centos/fed items??
The url I'm looking at:
https://www.ismay.ca/2015/10/repartition-a-debian-digital-ocean-droplet/
thanks for any help!
package, then download the grml iso to /boot/grml/ with wget:

I only use two live systems, Fedora (all main installers are "live" media at this point), or System Rescue CD.
I use Fedora when I know I want a graphical system or when it NEEDs to be a Fedora/RPM based system, and SRCD for command line work, such as this.

The only novel thing he did was add grml to the boot menu instead of booting from a USB stick. I've done that with SRCD before since it's pretty small.
Thanks, Richard
can SRCD be booted into a ramdisk?
the GRML process includes an iso, does SRCD have one?
thanks

Yes, although it will run fine off a USB stick, but during the boot process there's an option to run completely from memory.

A little googling can quickly answer that question...

Thanks, Richard
Not sure systemrescuecd is the right way to create the custom image for digitalocean
as far as I can tell...
it appears I'm going to need to have the centos 8 iso as well as the vmware player app
i'm trying to understand how the cloud-init process gets implemented.. or it appears the resulting image that gets uploaded/installed for DO, to be used as the basis of a droplet, would be missing the network stuff..
thanks
