# *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)[b]<br /><br />'''ANSWER:[/b] ''' 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?[b]<br /><br />'''ANSWER:[/b]'''You may be able to leave them connected, but this is untested. We [b]'''strongly[/b] ''' 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.[b]<br /><br />'''ANSWER:[/b]'''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?[b]<br /><br />'''ANSWER:[/b]'''We were unaware of this being an issue in Amahi 7. No problems have been reported with this in Amahi 8.<br /><br />#*Did you include any IPv6 networking with Amahi 8?[b]<br /><br />'''ANSWER:[/b]'''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 />#*Is Greyhole included by default, or will we have to manually install/configure it?[b]<br /><br />'''ANSWER:[/b]'''No. Greyhole will continue to be an add-on just like Amahi 7. We do have the [url=https://www.amahi.org/apps/greyhole-ui]Greyhole UI[/url] application which integrates it in the HDA dashboard and makes setup simple. You can also choose to [url=https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Amahi_Create_Manual_Greyhole_Setup]manually install and configure Greyhole[/url].<br /><br />
