I downloaded two (larger) of the three Centos 7 ISOs I could find... the only ones I could find. (I listed on names of the ISOs in my first post to this thread.)

I use the Live Gnome CD image to boot the machine, then click on Install to Hard Drive icon, install that, then remove the stuff that I don't want and install what I do want afterward. A nice side-effect is that you get to test your hardware compatibility before going through all of the song and dance to actually install the operating system. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

Weird that the newer ISOs seem to be broke. Thanks to everyone to help figure out how all this works.
