Advantages of the Express Installation

The Amahi Express CD gives you numerous advantages over the traditional Amahi installation

  • Headless means that there is no desktop after install. This means faster and meaner, no wasted resources on graphics or desktop.
  • All-in-one means all the necessary packages are included, much less downloading necessary
  • Up-to-date means we have included the latest upstream updates from Fedora in it as well as the latest goodies from Amahi at the time the CD was pressed!

WARNING

Please make sure your understand this:

Express means that it will automatically WIPE OUT your entire computer (unless you chose the expert option). All the drives connected at the time of the install will be WIPED OUT. Unplug from the system or take out any drive you do not want wiped out (you can add it later).

Download

Warning, 500MB~600MB ISO downloads!

32 bits ISO: For use with 32 bit and 64 bit processors to include Intel Pentium III and IV, Core Duo, AMD Athlon etc.

Troubleshooting

We have a page to track Express CD troubleshooting.

Gnome Installation

As the gnome desktop is not installed we have complied two methods. Please take a look at our gnome install wiki page for this. Alternatively we are testing the gnome desktop app for future implementation.
