What you have sounds like what I (and I think most people) call a "cable modem". If you have the bandwidth and don't want to use live media, go for the netinstall. > The "netinstall" option seems interesting. I'll have to check the > Fedora Docs website for instructions. It is pretty self-explanatory, and hasn't changed much (if at all) over the last several Fedora releases. You boot it, select keyboard/etc., get a screen with several widgets. Select each widget in turn to configure that part of the install; i.e. network, disk partitioning, file systems, software, user accounts, etc. Things I usually try to remember - set the hostname *before* file systems if using LVM, pay attention to file system size - by default it may make them as large as you want. server netinstall defaults to xfs - change to ext4 or whatever as desired. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
