Amahi Forums

I need to be able to install Amahi offline. Is that possible?

Not currently under fully-supported means. The Amahi Express disc may work, though I believe that still requires an internet connection for proper configuration into the network.

If I wanted to install Amahi at home where my local IP is 192.168.1.1 but the computer I am installing Amahi on is going to be used at work where the local ip is 192.168.2.1. How would I go about doing that?

I'm also somewhat confused because any install I've ever done has not had drivers for my NICs. Would I need to slipstream drivers for my raid card and network cards into the Fedora 12 install disk?

Thanks for the help!

you can install at work, where the .2. network will be autodetected.

when you get home, you may need to use to change the ip of the gateway.

I'm also somewhat confused because any install I've ever done has not had drivers for my NICs. Would I need to slipstream drivers for my raid card and network cards into the Fedora 12 install disk?

Is that your experience with Linux or Windows? It's been quite a while that I've had issues with my NICs on Linux (say around 8 years or more), on Windows I still have driver issues up to this day...

That is my Windows experience, constantly.

Good luck trying to install Windows XP or Home server with a raid setup and no floppy disk drive header
And moving to a 64 bit windows OS

So Linux pretty much has all of the drivers already on the install disk? That would make things a lot easier. The NICs are generic Realtec gigabit cards, so I think if linux would have any, it would have these drivers. What about RAID drivers? My RIAD controller is a on-board Intel ICH7R. Is there a list I can check to see what drivers are included?

Thanks again for all the help!

the RealTek drivers are on the disk, no doubt (I've had realtek NICs in the past and they worked automagically).

Not sure about the RAID stuff, but Intel is usually very Linux-friendly wrt drivers so I expect it to be supported:

My driver disk that came with the MoBo has drivers for Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. Would those work for Fedora?

Also, If the RAID drivers are not on the Fedora disk, how would I go about loading them during install? I don't have a FDD header, so no floppy drive, and I only have one CD drive. I could probably find a USB thumb drive, but I really don't have one handy. Is there a way to swap out disks and load the drivers, then put the Fedora disk back in and let it finish, or would I need to slipstream them onto the disk like a windows install?

I'll probably figure this out as I go, but I accidentally downloaded Fedora 13, then the source DVD for 12, and now I think I finally got the right disk downloading! I would just like to have all bases covered as much as possible before I start, I've never done anything with Linux before!

Thanks again for all the great help!

AFAIK you can just pop in another CD with the raid drivers if needed, never had a need to use it.
