liquidzoo Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 You can do an FTP install. Use the Search function on the board for a post from anon on how to do that. The easiest way, however, would be to do the install with the bare essentials using only cd 1, add urpmi sources with easyurpmi and update additional software that way. If you choose that method, make sure you remove your sources first (urpmi.removemedia -a) then add the new ones. Make sure you add all of the available sources.

Guest goodwill Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I can not do a CDROM install in this case. Which rpm packages would I need to do a base install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 You can do a HD install using the cd1 iso image. I'm not sure all of the rpms you would need to get a working install going. Perhaps someone else does? I've always done cd installs and upgraded from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
