I've started using live media to build my CentOS or Fedora 'client' systems. And a KS file to build a server base image. It seems to be working well, so far. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of William Warren Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 9:16 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] no more single cd installs? for some reason cent 5 now wants cd 3 as well as 1.

I found that using the text interface (as opposed to the default graphical interface) and de-selecting everything except Base and Editors (you might not need this option) in the "Customize software selection" screen will work.

Bad iso or new >> default?Choosing minimal installation (at the end of the "page" when you choose custom installation) will give you a perfect working installation with init:3 as default. Then it's just a matter of yum install / groupinstall "foo" and inittab editing to have a graphical environment available. Just my 0,02? -- Nicola Losito "kOoLiNuS" http://claimid.com/koolinus
