Pre-installation requirements

The minimal installation is performed to minimize resource waste caused by unnecessary services running.
Any required services and programs can be installed later using yum or rpm pkg.

The downloaded file should be used to create a bootable installation media via USB or CD/DVD.
For more details on how to create it, refer to: https://docs.centos.org/en-US/centos/install-guide/Making_Media_USB_Windows/ 

During installation, follow this guide for partitioning:
- /FBOX: Minimum 50GB
- /storage: Set according to available capacity
- /home and other partitions do not need much space, so set them to a minimum
   Tomcat will be installed under /opt, so it's fine to allocate a partition for that directory, or
   alternatively, allocate the maximum possible space to the root (/) partition.

 - When installing MariaDB, data files are stored in the /var/lib/mysql directory,
   so allocate at least 100GB for the partition containing the /var directory.

Typically, it's recommended to include /var and /home directories in the root (/) partition during partition setup.

Both standard partitions and LVM configurations are acceptable.
If you expect to expand partitions in the future, it's recommended to set up LVM.

It's recommended to set the OS partition and Data partition to xfs,
while the Storage partition can be set to ext4 or xfs (choose according to system and data needs).
Ext3 is not recommended (it has limitations on the number of files that can be written to a single folder).
