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.

  • These instructions below will guide you through the Fedora 23 Netinstall CD installation with screen shots and commentary. Click [Expand] to show and [Collapse] to hide.

    NOTE: Click [Expand] to show a screen shot and [Collapse] to hide it.
