The Full DVD does not have any of those problems, installs fine and fast enough (though not fast).
Maybe it uses swap.
Not till it starts partitioning the disk. The virtual disk was "new".
ntpd I taboo in all vmware guest installs per the recommendation from Vmware: the clock should be adjusted and trimmed only on the host CPU, not on the guests.
Funny, exactly the opposite on xen, otherwise systemd keeps complaining about the clock being adjusted.
Ah, I haven't tested that part yet.
The guests should instead use the guest tools to query the host for the time. Yes, AFAIR I reported this several years ago, but the problem remains.
I guess the installation wouold need to be sensitive to which host it is running on, that's perhaps not so easy.
Well, it is in part, because the vmware guest tools were installed automatically (note to myself: verify).
Removing ntpd causes the installation to halt midprocess and complain of an error. Hitting continue works.
That sounds like a bug.
Ah, possibly.
Probably other virtualization technology have the same issue, do not use ntp. I do not know for certain.
With xen, my guests run ntpd and have xen.independent_wallclock=1.
And both host and guest try to adjust the speed of the mother board hardware clock chip? (not the bios clock, that's a very different one). At best, it is wasted resources. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
