Any way to install Amahi without the full DVD?

I just put together a server, but I do not have an optical drive with it. I installed Fedora 9 from a live-usb creator USB stick since I don't have a DVD drive. I have been reading about Amahi and would love to try it. Help would be much appreciated.

try this:

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Self-install-existing

may need some help as the procedure may be a bit outdated (dependencies ...).
reply here (or come to the irc channel) with specific details if you need help.

basically, you need to get hda-install and the amahi repos into the box somehow

you may need to --force or --nodeps the rpms and i recommend you do not do a full update until after you are done with amahi.

*then* run hda-install.

should end up the same as a regular install.

I finally came upon that link on my own, and so far it is working. Thanks for answering though! I will post if I need any help. I am excited about giving amahi a try!
