I just downloaded the Centos 5.3 live-cd and booted the resulting disk. I do not see an icon to install from the cd! Did i get the wrong thing? I have a fixed allocation of bandwidth and hate to waste 700+ megs! Bob

I have been trying to run Centos 6 and 7 in virtualbox on this Fedora23 computer. Actually I also tried Scientific Linux and a DVD copy of Fedora 21 XFCE Live that I had on hand.

I've installed centos 7 64 bit and would like to install xfce and yumex. I've had no success doing either despite installing the EPEL repo. I keep getting "no package yumex available."
