*I have my system hard drive set up with the partitions for the boot/root/home/swap as one part, and my /var/hda/files taking up the rest of the drive space. Then I have three other drives installed (one internal, and two USB connected). My question is, when I do the installation, will it wipe the data off of my /var/hda/files, or can I select not to format that partition? (Custom install, have it format all partitions except that one)<br /><br />'''ANSWER:''' This may be possible, but untested. We cannot provide support as it deviates from our recommended install guidance.<br /><br />
*Do I need to disconnect the other drives, or will I be able to specify just that it format the partitions on the main (system) drive?<br /><br />'''ANSWER:''' You may be able to leave them connected, but this is untested. We '''strongly''' recommend you disconnect them.<br /><br />
*Will I be able to install any desktop afterwards? I ask this, because I use TeamViewer to manage my computers, and it requires a desktop to work.<br /><br />'''ANSWER:''' Support with Gnome or any other desktop was discontinued in Amahi 7 and will not be supported in Amahi 8 or future versions. Is there any reason you cannot manage other systems in your network without a desktop?<br /><br />
*If I choose not to run the DNS/DHCP servers, will that affect the ability to access my server from outside of my network? I found that it wouldn't update my IP address if those were shut off in the past. Is this still true?<br /><br />'''ANSWER:''' We were unaware of this being an issue in Amahi 7. Nothing has been reported for Amahi 8.<br /><br />
*Did you include any IPv6 networking with Amahi 8?<br /><br />'''ANSWER:''' No. We are considering it for Amahi 9, however adding this appears to be quite complicted. Undetermined at this point if it will be part of future releases.<br /><br />
