I dont understand why the CentOS website doesnt have a visual installation guide like yours. One question Why in step #9 would you add another wired network adapter instead of selecting the pre-created System eth0 and click the Edit button? Reply Ravi Saive says: September 14, 2012 at 11:50 am @Forrest yes you can select system eth0 to congure your network. and the above example is just for further Ethernet and DNS conguration if you have any. Reply Macsek says: November 29, 2012 at 5:31 pm Hi Forrest, I dont understand why the CentOS website doesnt have a visual installation guide like yours. I thought is easy to answer: Branded installation instructions and other documentation for starting out well are available for releases through CentOS 5; after that, a license change in upstream sources for this documentation presently rule out creation of CentOS branded variants. http://wiki.centos.org Reading your question once again shows my citation is probably not the exact answer for your question, just related.

Login as root and run the following command. For KDE yum groupinstall "X Window System" "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" For GNOME yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment" If you dont have internet, then open the le /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS- Media.repo with vi editor, change the enabled=0 to enabled=1 and mount the CentOS installation DVD under /media/cdrom/ and run the yum commands again. If you still having any problem, comment here. Reply Gita says: March 19, 2013 at 5:10 am Hi Ravi, I had a VM with CentOS 6.3 installed in my PC (Windows on host). It had gnome, and I wanted to use kde. I used yum groupinstall KDE. It had a warning: no kde-desktop package available. Although this installed many kde features but still didnt have the option to change to kde (no such option during login session. When I tried KDE at prompt it replied: no such command). I then found this site and used yum groupinstall X Window System KDE. I restarted my VM and looks like it started the boot process and then goes blackprobably some conict. Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I have just to notice that i use vmware player, and the problem of connectoing VM to the physical machine is causing (in part) the choice of the type of virtual connection between the VM and the physical network. So, how can i mount the device : cdrom, if im using the VM? Thank you. Best regards, Reply Sanjay says: January 3, 2013 at 8:40 pm Hassan, If you are using VMWare, you could add it in as a device from VMWare Workstation Manager and it will appear as one of the devices if you double click the Computer icon in your GUI.

S V Prasad says: February 7, 2013 at 5:07 pm I installed centos 6.3 on a Lenovo H525s core i5 3GHz, 4GB RAM and 500 GB Win 8 Desktop by creating 146 GB partition. The bios supports UEFI. After installation when I restart the system it always goes to windows only. The GRUB boot loader is not able to see the linux part. When I searched the forums many are saying it is due to MBR / GPT / UEFI incombatibility. If that is the case then I may have to add GRUB 2 support. Where can I get GRUB 2 inclded centos 6.3 distribution. My second query is since i am not able to boot into Linux directly I used rescue mode and am able to get into linux command mode. From there if I trype startx it goes into GUI mode but my keyboard and mouse hangs. Could any one suggest me steps to x any of these issues. Thanks a lot for any help.

It did not work for my HW platform. 2. GRUB2 source code is available for download. If you could compile and integrate with Centos 3 it might work. Again it did not work for me. 3. Create three partitions. One with Windows, another one with Centos 6.3 and third one (may be small one) with Fedora latest release (which already has support for Grub2). If using Fedora your system is able to accept the hardware and if you could see boot option then you can modify by it to point to centos as well. This I did not have time to check completely. You can try and see for your self. 4. Last option is wait for Centos 6.4 with Grub2 full support. I do not know when. Sorry I could not be of much help.

Im not sure if we need that. We need our set up to be used to format hard drives with Linux for Digital Cinema distribution and it will have a a CRU dock attached with a eSata connection to be used as a network drive. Its a new machine and already has 7 32bit installed on it. Should we keep that on a parition? It will not be connected to the internet, only by the network to my DCP creation machine. We will be loading, or loading content to or from a hard drive in the CRU slot. Whats you opinion on how we should install? Reply 32.
