How do I install from the centos 6.5 dvd without LVM? Nothing I have tried will permit me to make my own layout unless I accept LVM. Bob -- http://www.qrz.com/db/w2bod Box10 Fedora-20/64bit Linux/XFCE

I'm not sure about EL7, I always select to create my own layout and simply don't configure LVM. In my case, I use clustered LVM on shared storage, so LVM on the host makes things confusing. Of course, kickstart scripts are good. Automate the whole install and fine-grained control over partitioning. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?

That has some severe limitations now, unless you create a kickstart file. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

I would also ask why it is that you are choosing not to use LVM which offers many bits of useful functionality over traditional partitions -- James A.
