There are a number of options here, ranging from tried and true to new and experimental. The tried and true option is to start with a netinstall of the current OS, detailed as "option 1" below, and gradually build the machine up from offline downloads:
 +
Option 1
 +
 +
:Start with a minimal install of the base OS based upon your hardware:
 +
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21.iso
 +
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Server/i386/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-i386-21.iso
 +
:Copy the downloaded iso to a USB stick (use dd in linux, or UNetbootin in windows)
 +
 +
*The installer is somewhat obscure:
 +
::The first screen asks you to select keyboard and language
 +
::The next screen is the home page; you will click on topics, go off make to selections, and then return by clicking done.
 +
*Select "system"-installation destination:
 +
:Device selection, click on hard disk, click checkbox for "I will configure partitioning", click done.
 +
:In the left side window, under the drop down box, click <any previous OS> (unless the disk is already clean)
 +
:Click on the minus (which deletes the selected partition), select the "delete all other filesystems in .. as well"
 +
:Then select the drop down option "standard partition" and click the "+" at the bottom
 +
:In the "add a new mount point" window, click "/"
 +
:For the capacity enter the "total space" at bottom left of screen
 +
:Click the done twice, and the accept changes
 +
:Click on software selection, and then on lower left of that page select "minimal-x install"
 +
:Click on MATE (install DE), done
 +
 +
*Then click start install
 +
:You will need to put in a password for root, during the install.
 +
:At the end of the install, a button will appear, which asks you to reboot into the newly installed Operating System.
 +
:Once you have a console prompt, the steps are pretty straight forward:
 +
 +
:Connect the wifi unit to the adapter that will be used as the local area network (LAN), and make sure everything is under power with link lights.
 +
*Issue the following commands:
 +
 +
            ping yahoo.com (this verifies that the server is properly connected to internet after the reboot)
 +
            yum -y update
 +
            yum -y install git ansible
 +
            cd /opt
 +
            mkdir -p schoolserver
 +
            cd schoolserver
 +
            git clone https://github.com/XSCE/xsce --branch stable --depth 1
 +
            cd xsce
 +
            ./install-console
 +
            reboot
 +
 +
*I find it helpful to check that all the services are running on the server:
 +
 +
            syscemctl status NetworkManager
 +
            systemctl status dhcpd
 +
            systemctl status named
 +
            ip addr (verify that the external adapter and the LAN adapter or br0 have ip addresses)
 +
 +
*At this point you can connect to the server via the wifi at http://schoolserver/admin. Or with firefox from MATE desktop
 +
 +
:Decide which services need to be enabled, check the checkboxes, save the configuration, and click "install configured server'.
 +
 +
:Next download any content needed for rachel, kiwix, and/or other instructional materials.
 +
:: There are instruction for how and where to place the downloaded materials in README files in each of the roles folders.
