                  gentoo   (only supports amd64 cloud image)

• For machines with static IP, DD Windows, and the script will automatically configure the IP.

bash reinstall.sh dd --img https://example.com/xxx.xz

Usage 3: Reboot to Alpine Rescue System (Live OS)

• Can be connected via SSH to perform manual DD, modify partitions, manually install Arch / Gentoo, etc.

• If the disk content is not modified, rebooting again will return to the original system.

bash reinstall.sh alpine --hold=1

Usage 4: Reboot to netboot.xyz

• Can install more systems using background VNC.

bash reinstall.sh netboot.xyz

Usage 5: Install Windows ISO

bash reinstall.sh windows \
     --iso 'https://drive.massgrave.dev/en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_d289cf96.iso' \
     --image-name 'Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021'

Parameters:

--iso Original image link, no need to integrate VirtIO, Xen, AWS, GCP drivers.

--image-name Specify the image to install, case-insensitive, should be enclosed in quotes on both sides, for example:

'Windows 7 Ultimate'
'Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021'
'Windows 11 Pro'
'Windows Server 2022 SERVERDATACENTER'

Use Dism++ File menu > Open Image File, select the iso to be installed to get the image name.

1. Supported systems:

   • Windows Vista to Windows 11
   • Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2022
