  • UNetbootin (supports Windows/Linux/Mac OS])

Create USB image

NOTE: These instructions are based on a Windows client, but easily adaptable to MAC or Linux.

  • Insert USB flash drive into your computer.
  • Run UNetbootin
  • Select Diskimage and ISO for format
  • Browse to select the file you downloaded earlier (Minimal CD Install or Full (DVD) Install ISO)
  • Verify at the bottom
    • Type is USB Drive
    • Drive listed is for your USB flash drive. If not, select the appropriate drive.
  • Once you are ready, choose OK. Please be patient as this may take a while since it extracts the ISO to the USB flash drive.
  • When UNetbootin finishes, select Exit and remove the USB flash drive.

Install Fedora

  • Insert the USB flash drive into your server.
  • Now boot your server using the USB flash drive. Some BIOS have function keys that allow you to choose the boot media. Others may require changes to the BIOS.
  • Follow applicable Fedora 21 Server or Netinstall instructions


NOTE: Most commands from here on will need to be executed as a privileged user. Depending on how you configured the users at install, you may need to precede them with sudo (made user administrator). Otherwise, you will need to be root user.
