EVE-NG Team,

I recently attempted to install EVE-NG Pro using the ISO you provided via your website but I noticed in the cookbook the installer does not give you the opportunity to actually choose what disk/partition you want to install EVE to. All you get is a warning that says:

"Selecting Continue below will begin the installation process and result in the loss of data on the disks selected to be formatted. You will not be able to return to this or a previous screen once the installation has started. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Which disk is it talking about? How can I edit/choose what disk EVE gets installed onto?

Similar issue with Community - I was attempting to wipe out an install of esxi to do baremetal - and looking at the log cruising by, eve-ng decides to use /dev/sdb, which is most definitely not the boot drive. Any thoughts on how to pick which drive to format?

One thing that could be done is only present one HDD to the installer at time of launch, but this is something that should ideally be resolved with an install time choice.

I had answered it many times:
yes EVE iso this option is missed.

But:
instead you can use legacy Ubuntu Server 20.04 installation, complete it and install EVE manually on top of it.
Installing Ubuntu server choose only SSH server feature.
https://releases.ubuntu.com/focal/ubunt ... -amd64.iso

For EVE Community: For EVE-PRO Internet and DNS in both cases is a must.
You must be as root user on your system to install EVE.

Thank you for the insight; I had not read that. Perhaps there should be a disclaimer on the page to download the ISO image to state that there may be issues when multiple drives are present? Not sure who's in charge of that, but that should eliminate all but the people who won't read it
