how to install fedora 15 on a old hp proliant server ?
i have managed to install fedora on my hp proliant, but only
with unetbootin , so i start up from usb stick.
Now i want to install my live cd to my hard disk, but this
wont succeed. please help.
regards Harry.
If you have Fedora installed on the hard disk, you should simply be able to install grub to its MBR.
Go get bootinfoscript and post the RESULTS.txt so we can see what you've got. Probably about time you looked at an upgrade as well.
what's the size of your fc15?
some iso are not required for installation, they just work right when you put the CDs(or DVDs)and startup.so make sure your iso is not this type.I installed my fc15 with a Dvdrom,that is the easist way.best regards!

Ok ,I downloaded bootinfo and tried to run it but did not succeed,
what should be the commands in my terminal ?

You'll need to be more specific than that - what did you do, what did (or didn't) happen.
That file needs to be unzipped, then run from where-ever you extracted it to. Might be Desktop, might not.
For Fedora probably use the non-sudo instructions.
first off i would NOT install fedora 15 on a server !
In about one month fedora 15 will hit it's END OF LIFE
there will NEVER be any more support for it ever . It will basically be DEAD.
on a server you will want something with a LONG life span .Something like CentOS 6.2
It has about 5 years of support with 3 more extended support

fedora is a very bad choice for a server
thanx,good advice !!
I already thought about installing a different distro, but what about
open suse, is that suitable for my server ?
