Boot from Fedora 15 DVD, Select Install a new system or upgrade an existing system:
Since it takes a long time to test the installation media so we skip this test here:
Since we are using a locally attached hard drive, Basic Storage Devices is selected here:
As we want a fresh Fedora installation, click on the Yes, discard any data button next:
Next we do the partitioning. Select Replace Existing Linux System(s). This will give you a small /boot partition and a large / partition which is fine for our purposes:
Now we select the software we want to install. Uncheck Graphical Desktop and check Web Server instead. Then check Customize now. Afterwards, select the additional repositories Fedora 15 - x86_64 and Fedora 15 - x86_64 - Updates (if you are on an i686 system, the names are probably Fedora 15 - i686 and Fedora 15 - i686 Updates):
Finally, the installation is complete, and you can remove your DVD from the computer and reboot it:
