Re: [Astlinux-users] Astlinux on AWS

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

But Astlinux could be built with that.  My own personal custom build I
have CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m set.  I don't know if having it as a module would
be good enough.  I do not build the install ISO however... is that
necessary for Vultr or can you start from the raw image?
