Hi,
someone pointed out the 'boot' iso, it's approx 600Mb, which works if you can connect to a network. I used that.
In previous versions, I just downloaded the 'minimal install iso', mostly because it is a habbit because my network connection used to
be a lot slower, so I downloaded them over night.
I tend to install in different ways at work, just depends. Of course you can get the 7.something or 8.something iso, mount it on a loop
and export it to use it as an install, or http, or kickstart etc etc.. but if not too big, having a disk with it comes in handy.
(especially if it is not supported anymore, and you really need that old disto, because of that 'thing' you need to run *lol*)
It's not headless, I have a few machines on a kvm switch, but after the initial install I use as if they are.
Yeah I don't care much about top or bottom either, if someone likes top, it's top, if someone likes bottom it's bottom *lol*
I think posting on top is easier than bottom than shredded in the middle, less likely overlook stuff that way.... whatever you choose, some
just like top, others get po-ed by it.. can't make everyone happy all the tme.
thanks for the tip !
Ron

Hi R C.
The resulting installation is smaller than the image that you download through FTP, etc. When I first installed this OS during version 5, I was amazed that the installation took a mere fraction of the time it took to go through the menu. Heh.
Anyway, give it a whirl as it’s quick. I’m assuming you mean a headless installation.
Oh and I’m top posting because it’s logical.

What I see is a 7.4Gb and a 8Gb iso, that can't be 'minimal'
