It would appear that the stars are almost right...

Is it not a case of simply repartitioning and re-installing on the now blank disk anymore?

Heh. After some manly wrestling with the exact VM problem described, I eventually found those nice, small Debian server OSes. But then my company said, no, no you simply *must* use our approved version of Red Hat (tuned for a desktop, with all that stupid GUI stuff and desktop backgrounds). Now my VMs are all outrageously outsized again.

All I want is something that has enough to get the system into a usable console-only state, and devtools so I can install or compile the app-specific bits and pieces. Screen would be nice too, this stupid RH thing didn't even have that.

Dead men tell no tales.

Wrong country dude ;-)

That's easy. Make them do it to each other. The guilty one will soon confess.

Does it work on heretics and xenos scum?

Yeah, but in what language?

Astartes Power Armour!

Yeah, but one of those "moons" is probably going to be a Death Star. More than likely there to keep the local governors in line, or something...

Sometimes it IS necessary to upgrade though, it can save you real money. I used to spend $$ on firewood for sending smoke signals; but then I made a one-off payment by switching to semaphore flags. Simples!

Then why not test the big vats of Diet Coke that are all nicely in one place at each of the restaurants and cafes?

The "terrorists" have won, because you have changed your otherwise normal behaviour to comply with their un-American agenda.

Make sure you don't refuse to drink anything they "test". If you decide to throw it away, then it's proof positive that the liquid in your cup was probably a dirty bomb. The fact that you're already in an airport will expedite your special rendition to Guantanamo Bay Internment Camp for "processing".

What exactly are you guys afraid of?

...and have no truck with the alien too!
