If you read the part of my message I've left you'll see that : 1st, I'm using a OVH server but it's provided by one-provider, so the interface (aka Wizard) ain't the same. 2nd, I am asking how to do something using command line interface. 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
