[BlueOnyx:19169] Re: 5107/5108 Hyper-V image fresh install results in 40GB ?

Hi Jim,

> 5107/5108 installs

Please use the 5207R, 5208R or the 5209R ISO's. There really is no
reason to use the older BlueOnyx versions anymore. Especially not for a
new install.

The 5209R ISO is also the newest. Both in terms of software that it
installs as well as the installer is concerned.

Generally: When you install into a VM using the ISO there are a few
things to consider: Some forms of virtualization allow you to create
disks that "grow". Others use a fixed disk size.

Wherever possible: Use the fixed size for the disk(s). Because our
installer will examine the disk and will try to determine what the
maximum diskspace is that it can use. It will then use as much as it
can. Which - in your case - might be 40 GB.

So if you need a VM that just uses 20GB, create a disk with a fixed size
of 20GB (or whatever you need) for BlueOnyx and then install off the
ISO. And it'll use all of it.
