Setting up Rocky Linux (Rocky-9.2-x86_64-dvd.iso) for a virtual machine

Welcome back to another tutorial from our Linux tutorial series.

We are taking a break from Alpine Linux and exploring a new topic.

This time we are going to run Rocky Linux on a virtual machine for general-purpose computing.

We need to complete several steps to get it working correctly.

1. The very first step is to boot up the ISO image of Rocky-9.2-x86_64-dvd.iso

2. Here we have our Troubleshooting options.

3. It was a large download (9.234.624 KB). We need to make sure our installation media is free of corruption.?

4. Here we can see the main installation GUI loading into active memory.

5. Here we have the basic language selection.

6. Here we have the main installation GUI.

10. We need to manage our disk installation settings.

11. Here we have our software selection screen.

12. We need to configure our network and local host.

13. We shall go for a much more reduced minimalistic security profile. DO NO do this in a production environment.

14. We need to set up our root account.

15. We are now fully prepared to Begin the Installation process.

16. Here we can see the setup process.

17. The Installation process has been completed.

19. Once our Rocky Linux 9.2 virtual machine execution environment has fully booted we are ready to begin our productive work – system ready.

20. Welcome to Rocky Linux 9.2

21. We use the command 'shutdown -h now' to power off our Rocky Linux 9.2 virtual machine execution environment.

Well, that was exciting. See you in the next one! #linux
