Guys, I've been trying to install centos 6.2, then 6.3 onto a supermicro 6013P-8 which does not have a DVD rom drive. Those newer version of CentOS only have DVD (not CD) iso versions so I've been sharing the install via NFS. With each try the install hangs forever installing 'selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-154.el6.noarch'. How can I disable that feature and / or SE Linux altogether so that I can get CentOS 6 installed? I would of course install SE Linux once the box was up. I'd really appreciate some advice here. Thanks! Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B
Hi Tim, What if you symlink the shared nfs dir to /var/www/html/somedir and try the http protocol? May help?

Then share that directory on NFS and install from that. Leave out the problematic RPMs from the directory. I used to do network installs from an NFS server just this way. I had several different distributions/versions shared on the NFS server. You could install any one of the shared distros that you wanted. -- _ ?v? /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 www.counter.li.org ****
