That has a CLI install option at boottime, so you can get down and dirty in a very short time.

It only works from the alternate installation disc, not the desktop ISO. Unless that has changed recently. ;)

Because I want to do a -very- simple install but I can’t seem to find the right distro for it. (I’ve tried Arch and I succeeded but that was 2 years ago and right now, I need something that can be set up in 2 hours due to lack of time..)
