Fedora 26 Installation

I prefer to install Fedora Server 26, instead of Fedora Workstation. It is easy enough to switch afterwards, but maintain Cockpit, etc.

  1. Boot your Fedora USB Media
  2. Choose your Language and Locale - English and English (Canada) for me. Click Continue.
  3. Set You Network and Hostname first, this will allow you to enable NTP.
  4. Diable IPv6 if you want.
