Unwanted Firsts

Today I installed a CentOS 6.3 server - in Dallas - from an ISO on my PC - in Sydney - using the IPMI virtual USB device.

Okay, I took the easy route and did a net install from the mirror at Limestone Networks (also in Dallas), so it only took 40 minutes to get to the package selection menu and after that everything was nice and quick.  But then I decided I wanted to rename my logical volumes, got it wrong, broke everything, had to reinstall, had Anaconda freak out and crash, had to reinstall again, had to go out to the shops while I was still waiting for the package selection menu to come up, had to reinstall again, and finally got things exactly the way I want them.

In short: It works, but it's not something you would ever want to do.
