I have an old HP xw6600 that will not boot from USB. How can I do a new install of Fedora 37 Workstation?

A cd/dvd drive you have ?

Yes, I have a CD drive.

You can burn the live ISO on a CD, from there you have after to select which DE you want.

You need a network connection of course to download the whole packages for your install.

If you don’t want Beta you can get the Fedora Everyting-netinst from a mirror close to you:

Mirrors - MirrorManager

mirrormanager is providing you with a mirror, no need to look around…

if your are adventurous and have a second machine, you can boot over the network using PXE, see Setting Up an Installation Server :: Fedora Docs
