How to get llama 2 up and running , in a VM, with no GPU, and limited memory on Ubuntu

Image
OK I decided to write this up after unsuccessfully being able to find all the required info I needed in one place. In this setup we will be using Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS as the OS. I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to  Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation. Set Ubuntu 64 bit as the guest OS Set your CPU relevant to the physicals CPU, I will be starting with 4 VCPU Set your Memory to as much as you can tolerate, I will be using 12 Disk Space - we are creating a 100G swap file, and the rest of the file can take up some room , so more is better if you can afford it Dont forget to add the U

WDS converting legacy images to WIM

here is what i had to do on moving from a 2003 WDS server running in legacy mode to a 2008 WDS server running in native (only option is native) with a bunch of XP images. first setup your 2008 WDS server, for the most part the wizzard is self explanitory, install, point images to a diffrent drive other then the %system% drive and begin. However some issues i had to over come are multiprocessors and single processors for XP (vista\7 does not care about HAL's) for the base install of an XP image i took parts that pertained to me from Lucius Craig's Guide Mainly Step 6 and Step 7 (uploading image to WDS worked just fine for me) I left the PE image on there for trouble shooting later on down the line, however i have not had to use it yet For XP i had to create 2 XP SP3 Captures because some PC's have dual core and some single core and the HAL for xp will not let you do DC on a SC.
