[David Lemcoe <forum@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an old server I just put 6.0 on (about 2 hours ago) and it only has CD drive. a netinstall CD works just fine. If you have a decent network connection, some time on your hands, or you want a minimal installation, that's the way to go.

Boot with boot.iso

But you will have to find some way to get the rest of the install to the
machine, such as
A local hard, USB

NFS
