It is very difficult to check something like that, as it only happens during system installation.
What is so hard about firing up a VM with an install medium, and check before guessing ?
Takes an ahour, as compared to someone already knowing :-)
An hour? Took me 2 minutes to download the NET iso, 2 minutes to fire up the installer to the point of partitioning. And, in matters like testing I'd even take the hour to move from guessing to being sure.
I presume Carlos meant the time to get acquainted with setting up a VM.
He is much faster than me :-)
But first I have to decide which VM to use, look at its user and partition current setup, write it somewhere, stop it if it is in use (and start it first to look inside), boot it from "external" media (reach the bios window to change boot settings, takes several attempts to get to that window), then get to the point where the install can import settings. My virtual machines run slow - it took the system minutes the other day to boot 42.3 install system in real hardware. Perhaps 7 minutes, I have no idea why so much.
It doesn't even need a complete VM to see this. Start Vbox, add the iso to it (as a virtual optical disk) and boot. That really is all I did. In fact, I abused an already available VM, by booting from the iso, instead of it's virtual harddisk ( vdi ). If your Leap 42.3 system takes 7 minutes to boot, something definitely is wrong. Even a P4 with 5400 rpm HDD and 2 GB RAM doesn't take that long. Run systemd-analyze blame to see what's slowing down the machine. Furthermore, you seem to be missing my point: "believe", "guess", "from memory" are no valid testing criteria. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
