ex475 with fedora 17

I got fed up with trying to figure out how to install WHS2011 onto my ex475. So I bit the bullet and just installed a linux distribution.

  1. Pull bottom drive from your ex475
  2. Put drive into spare USB container
  3. Create a VM using VM workstation and point it at a physical disk.
  4. Install Fedora 17.
  5. Put drive back and boot it up!

A couple of things I had to do

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

UUID="b65270ab-2b79-473d-8dce-942908383ff2"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
BOOTPROTO="static"
DEVICE="eth0"
ONBOOT="yes"
IPADDR=192.168.1.20
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
