Halloween 2021

Happy Halloween, I did not expect a huge rebound in trick or treaters today, but there wasa decent amount reminiscent of 2019.

Got Rocky 8 USB Boot working

Finally figured it out, able to kickstart and boot off of a USB and install Rocky 8 Linux.

The magic was not in the grub or isoconfig file but in the kickstart.

I had to specify a HD install and a repo location.

Unfortunately I have to only copy that works building a box as I post.

I should make a backup.

Another important note is that I been having problems with RAM on my Linux box. I should do a RAM check, maybe a simple reseat of the RAM.

I discovered this by doing sha256sums against the Rocky ISO. Every time I did it a got a different value, even if I did the same file back to back.
