More easier way to delete fedora and add a different linux distro?

devopia · 01-02-2015, 03:32 PM

Hi,
I had a long expirence with ubuntu and I enjoyed using it alot.
I bought a new computer with Windows and deleted it and installed ubuntu, it didn't work.
So I tried a new linux distro (which happened to be fedora) and wanted to wipe ubuntu and install it.

Doesn't even want to boot the .iso file..

I've tried to use Unetbootin but it doesn't want to show up on the boot options....

So, I'm stuck.
Help?

Thanks for any help!

P.S: I don't to use a CD or a LIVE USB!

there is really nothing easier
the fedora install dvd you made from the iso that you "burned as a image"

you DID burn the iso as a image? right?
and you did read the instructions for installing fedora?
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...llation_Guide/

they are on the download page
https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/

will automatically reformat the whole drive

just
pop in the install dvd
and select the DEFAULT settings
install to the whole drive

personally i would have used the torrent download
http://torrents.fedoraproject.org/
that way the files are checked and are complete

and please READ the release notes

Does that mean you have the Fedora iso (very poor choice of a distribution for someone new) on your hard drive somewhere?
Well, you obviously can't boot it from windows so do you still have the Ubuntu grub2 on the machine?
Highly unlikely you will be able to boot Fedora directly from an iso file and grub unless Fedora has changed recently.

Maybe you could give more specifics on exactly what you have tried and what you want to do.

You should try pxe boot from ethernet link.
