Hi all



I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14 server on my "new" Poweredge sever. Not
sure if I'm being thick(er than usual) here but I have different results
with the same iso image (via usb flash drive). If I use the image on
virtualbox on a windows host, when I boot it I get a menu with 6 items
(Install Ubuntu, multiple servers with MAAS, Check disk for defects, test
memory, boot from first hard disk and rescue).



Putting the same USB stick in the 860, when I boot, I only get 3 options
(test memory, boot from 1st hd and rescue). The actual install option
(amongst others) has disappeared. Anyone know what's going on?



I can install the desktop version on the server - but it's painfully slow
(and I don't need a GUI for what I have in mind for it).



Cheers

Rob
