Hi,
This is something I've never tried before.
How do I go about installing FC2 from a server? I need to update a machine based in America (I'm in the UK) and so have to install from the UK.
Getting someone out to it will cost a fortune (don't ask!).
TIA
TTFN

Paul, I didn't keep the link, but when I was trying to do something like this, I searched google and came up with a link that showed me:
1> How to copy the DVD image to a directory on the server.
2> How to prepare a kickstart file to bypass all questions.
3> How to modify the grub.conf so that it automatically runs the installer from that image. Apparently, if you set everything up correctly, simply rebooting the PC will install FC2.
I didn't end up doing it that way, but when I was reading it, it didn't seem too hard. Have you tried searching google?
Regards, Ed.
