Re: using a local computer for a remote install of F22...
Why not just install Fedora via the command line? The installation should be quite straightforward: 1. Partition your remote computer's drive(s) 2. Install Fedora there - for example using systemd-nspawn 3.

As it stands now, both NICs are going to try to get DHCP IPs. I'm going to assume that one NIC is actually seeing a DHCP server and will get an IP, DNS and route, the other one (the one connected to the VNC client) doesn't get an IP. So the kernel routing table only knows about one NIC being up and all traffic is going through it. I suspect you'll need to add an ip: parameter for the NIC connected to the VNC client to your boot line. The generic form of the option is: ip=ip::gateway:netmask:hostname:interface:none So, assuming the NIC's name is p4p1, something like: ip:10.1.1.2:::255.255.255.0::p4p1:none should set that NIC's IP to 10.1.1.2 with no route, a /24 netmask and no hostname. VNC should then know that 10.1.1.1 is connected to that NIC and should route accordingly. The other NIC should pick up a DHCP as normal. Again, I've never done this, so this is just a wild guess but seems likely. -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - I was married by a judge.
