Hi guys

I am as we say in Brasil a 0 on the left whe the subject is Linux..Newbee!!

I have a dedicate server in UK Which I just signed up with a company called Fasthost.

1.8GHz 2MB Cache Intel® Core 2 Duo processor
512 MB RAM
80 GB hard disk drive
Remote server control - keyboard, mouse & video control

I manage to upload a ISO file to the server Trixbox-2.2.9.iso

I read all the manual to mount the ISo file. WITH NO LUCK!!

By the way I dont have a Ubuntu desktop . What I have a black screen which looks like a DOS to me.

Question!!

HOw Can I install the Trixbox-2.2.9.iso to the server?? Where the file should be?

Can anyone help??
MAny Thanks

Allex

Can it be done by a newbee or just an expert can do it??

Just to clarify... you have only remote access to the machine, and you want to install a new OS while connect to it remotely? You cannot install a new OS on the bare metal while remote-controlling it. You could install it in a VM though. Maybe VirtualBox or vmware?

The answer for your first question is, yes!!
I have a eRIC card installed on the server side which i sprovide by the company (whickh they do not give support)

The file (trixbox-2.2.9.iso) is already there. I can access the server using a remotely ..But again I DON have a clu how to do it.

I am testing the trixbox on VMware on my Pc in here.. If I could run a VMware there I think it wouyld be easier

But what is yours thoughts...?

Allex

Well, you simply can't re-install the OS remotely, so I think a VM of some sort if the only real option. That or maybe the people at the hosting company will help you accomplish this, but I cannot speak for them.

Reaaly??
I can not install a OS remotaly?
I can try the VMware any Idea how to start remotaly?... as I can only see a black screeen..

Sorry to bother you

I know I can not help regarding the remote installation of Operating System, but just to tell you that you can use remote desktop using humingbird network and to export the output of a screen on your host. If you are only interested to use gui (Graphical User Interface) instead of a linux shell.
