= Install Fedora 23 =

There are two ways to install Fedora: Minimal (CD), so-called Netinstall, which is recommended, and the Full (DVD) install for cases that need more hardware support.

== Minimal (CD) Install ==

We recommend this method for a quick download and fast installation.

Download the Fedora 23 Netinstall CD for 64 bit (415MB).

Burn the ISO to CD (or DVD), insert the media into your server, and reboot the system.

<li>Should you have existing partitions on the disk drive you will be using for the Fedora 23 installation, they will have to be removed.</li>
<ul>
<li> You should see the existing partition about half way down the screen.
