Netinstall + forcedeth
Posted: 2019/11/14 11:56:42
Hi Everybody,
i`m using at home a quite old pc as home-server with Fedora and i would like for different reason to move to CentOS 8. I was trying to install it with the "boot" image but the installer can`t find any hardware for ethernet at all. I tried also with the DVD ISO but the result is the same.
After a long search in Google i found that i have an Nvida ethernet adapter and i should install forcedeth. I would like to know if it is possibile to install it by the installation process so i can install CentOS with the netinstall.
PS: I never installed/used CentOS so i´m more than new. I`m asking because before i format my fedora i would be sure that at least the LAN works
I hope that the question is understandable
Thanks in advance for any help.
