VPS Build Process

Create a Cloud Server or Virtual Private Server (VPS)
Load image from https://downloads.allstarlink.org/ASL_Images_Beta/Intel-AMD/asl-2.0.0-beta.6-kc1kcc-20210324-amd64.hybrid.iso to the default "Backup" dirve provided.
Once the download is complete the ASL install procedure should boot.
Select the Virtual Disk to Partition
Accept the default partitions
Partition the Drive
Confirm the Partitioning.
Install the GRUB boot loader. Note the this will not boot until the "Backup" drive is deleted.
FInish the Installation.
Remove the install files.
NOTE! the VPS will continue to boot the Install media until the "Backup" is detached. Select the "Detach CD button.
Select "OK" to proceed.
NOTE! This screen will remain for up to half an hour. However, after a few minutes the "Force Shutdown" message appears. The only way I found to complete the step is to select "Forced Shutdown".
Select the "Forced Shutdown" button.
Select "Network" from the menu on the Left and then "Firewall" tab. The link is "https://home.binarylane.com.au/server//network/firewall". Insert your server name in the appropriate place.
