So don,t tell me "Hey dude, use a wizard". 3rd, regarding contacting tech support. You really think it's OVH's job to explain to me how to install OS using network boot and a shell interface ? I doubt.... Just a little hint for life... If someone is telling you, I'm fucked using a CLI and they seem to have a basic knowledge of what they are doing. Then think twice and you'll get in your mind that they've already exhausted the easy one of using a click and poop solution like a wizard. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
