I've downloaded yesterday the ISO image of the SME 9 and and I've tried to install it.
During the process, it asked me only about keyboard, time server and password.
With the reboot I see only a confused grey bitmap.
The motherboard is an ASRock FM2A85-ITX con CPU AMD A4-5300.
I'able to install Ubuntu and Debian Desktop, Servers and derivates.
So the problem cannot be the hardware.
I've then tried the last SME version 8 and now I've the server installed.
So I ask you if the 9.x has some problem.
About the installation I need some information.
1) I wish install only a disk of 500GB. How this is partitioned for email, webserver, proxy and above all user disk space? Can I manage these partitions?
2) I wish install now only one disk of 500GB and later a second of 500GB (in RAID1), 2 or 3 disks of 1TB disks (with or without RAID) and another disk of 3TB for internal backup.
In the wiki I read that SME chooses the type of RAID automatically. Can I manage the type of RAID and for which disks?
3) What kind of filesystem is created? EXT4? LVM?
4) In the wiki I read about backup from/to desktop, tape and USB.
I wish to do a backup/snapshot of the server and of the users files towards the internal disk of 3GB and in a second step, if it is need, from this towards an external device.
It is possible? What I have to do?
5) Installing the "add-on" / Contribs, then I can manage these from the Server Manager?
Thank in advance
