1. introduction
The main purpose of LUI is to install a minimal footprint of the Rocky Linux version 9 distribution on either a physical or virtual machine.
A minimal count of 229 RPM packages result in only 967MB used disk space.
Once the base operating has been installed, a script called cid-init should be executed.
This procedure will prompt for the parameters and configure the node and install extra packages to make it more manageable.
After installing the additional tools, we still have a minimal count of 353 RPM packages result in only 1.2GB used disk space.
