*REF from : https://github.com/XSCE/xsce/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.rst

*option 1

:NUC with 1 TB HD

*Install on 32bit or 64bit Intel Machines

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.
