First I installed my system with the Bare-metal ISO Installer. I decided to go for a system without LVM (LVM is not really required) and so I installed the system according to this.
First of all, there is something missing in the description of "Install Proxmox VE on Debian Wheezy".
Before installing the Proxmox VE packages, you need to configure your IP, because the installer configured DHCP, when a DHCP server was found.
This can be done in /etc/network/interfaces the usual way.
Now be sure your host is configured in /etc/hosts, because the installer will do this not correctly (you will run into this issue):
Now you should be able to install the Proxmox VE packages without any error.
Then I removed some obviously unused packages:
# apt-get purge exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
I discovered a difference in the installed packages, between the Bare-metal ISO Installer and the install on top of Debian Wheezy.
The latter installs this additional packages:
From my point of view, most of them are not required for the Proxmox host.
If I am right, it would be nice to update the install on top of Debian Wheezy description with a hint to purge them..
On the other hand, some packages are missing by the install on top of Debian Wheezy method:
Are they really required?
If not, why are they installed by the Bare-metal ISO Installer?
If yes, it would be nice to update the install on top of Debian Wheezy description with the required additional packages.
