If you read the part of my message I've left you'll see that :

1st, I'm using a OVH server but it's provided by one-provider, so the
interface (aka Wizard) ain't the same.

2nd, I am asking how to do something using command line interface. So
don,t tell me "Hey dude, use a wizard".

3rd, regarding contacting tech support. You really think it's OVH's job
to explain to me how to install OS using network boot and a shell
interface ? I doubt....

Just a little hint for life... If someone is telling you, I'm fucked
using a CLI and they seem to have a basic knowledge of what they are
doing. Then think twice and you'll get in your mind that they've already
exhausted the easy one of using a click and poop solution like a wizard.
