Install OS manually from standard images

For your information

Only standard Linux-based OS images are available for manual installation.

When manually installing an OS from standard images, you can partition disks arbitrarily and install the OS on any disk. If this is not necessary, we recommend that you install the OS using autoinstallation. If standard images do not meet your requirements, install the OS from your own image.

The provided standard OS images are minimal net-install images used for OS installation. You will need to download the remaining files from a local or public repository.
