Installing Rocky from the DVD ISO is the easiest and most common method of performing a standard Rocky 8 installation.Thanks again, Ulli Hankeln, I promised to report: down below also in GErman:Ĭonverted vhd with v2v converter to the vmdk-format on a hard disk, which took about 70 minutes for almost 60 GB. DVDĪ full installation that contains the BaseOS and AppStream repositories and allows you to complete the installation without additional repositories. Used to install the operating system from another source (such as a HTTP repository of the binary files).

Which image you need to download depends on your installation environment and use-case. Various installation images are available for installing Rocky. There are many ways to contribute to the project, from documentation, QA, and testing to coding changes for SIGs, providing mirroring or hosting, and helping other users. As you download and use Rocky, the Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation invites you to be a part of the community as a contributor.
