Hi Anshuman,

We don't have support for that kind of installation right now. We have been
wanting to experiment with distributed file systems on the ISO, so maybe we
will see something in that direction on 017. One alternative would be to
install the ISO on a local VM, do the pruning and transfer its disk image
over the network to your virtual server.

Thanks,
Lucas
