Here's the exact method I installed Amahi and Fedora 14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boot and install Fedora 14 with default settings configuring server name to amahiserver.
Restart the machine and create your user.
Disable GUI on start up
Just change in /etc/inittab the line
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:
Here is more information : http://www.fedorafaq.org/basics/#runlevel
Reboot and do the rest through the terminal runlevel 3.

Note: Installing from the web is not recommended at this point; see posts further down in this thread on that issue. Also you should not be running the NetworkManager service; see posts further down in this thread on this issue also.
Up to this point everything works flawlessly. Now the last time I installed and encountered this problem I forced a restart on the machine which killed the amahi install at 69%. I opened port 80 in the firewall and the server worked. The only issue is that the service NetworkManager failed on start up. So I would have to restart it twice after bootup to get it working.
service NetworkManager restart
service NetworkManager restart
Everything else in Amahi appeared to work okay (I disabled dhcpd and dns service). So basically every time I restart the Amahi server from the web I have to manually log in to the machine and start the networking by restarting the NetworkManager service twice to get it to work. This defeats the purpose of setting up sshd and autostarting it.
This basically means I can't restart my Amahi server unless I have physical access to it. Any ideas to troubleshoot why Amahi broke the networking or won't get past 69%? I can restart the install process as many times as I like because it's in a Virtual Machine. I'd like to get all the bugs ironed out before I set this up as a main driver on my network.
I provided as much information as I possibly could so hopefully someone can help.
