...appear to rewrite the bootloader stuff correctly at all. At this point I've totally given up on it. Fedora liveusb-creator ought to work. But... And it's also currently undergoing a rewrite. The most reliable way to create USB stick media for CentOS and Fedora is dd. > >> Also netinstall used the network as source, not from CD/DVD.

Hi, Folks -- I'm setting up an Acer Aspire 5250 as a Christmas gift, CentOS 6 netinstall insists on trying to configure wlan0 but I'm using a wired DSL connection, consequently netinstall fails and only offers the option to Retry. How can I get it to bypass the wlan0 idea and go straight to eth0...? Thanks, -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's no...

Hi. The other day I burnt a copy of a CentOS 6.4 64 bit netinstall disc, verified the disc which passed & about a third of the way through the install it informed me that there was no CD in the drive & refused to carry on. So I burnt another & the same thing happened. So using the same disk burner & the same batch of disks, I burnt a copy of a...

Trying to specify the "installation source" in the configuration of netinstall for centos 7 (7.1). Three places on the web said mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/ But that configuration page probes, then it says, "Error setting up base repository". What's the magic needed? Also, if anyone knows specs for epel and others, they might help too. Thanks.

Hi list, I downloaded the netinstall iso, burned it to disk, and tried to install on my old Dell PowerEdge 2900 (Intel Xeon / 8Gb ram). Machine is connected to a KVM. The Centos 6 netinstall iso worked flawlessly on this exact configuration two days ago. The first thing anaconda does after verifying the media is complain that "p...

Hello. I try to install from the netinstall iso file. Everything works as I expect up to the screen where I have to choose between "Desktop", "Minimal Desktop", "Minimal", etc. If I choose either "Desktop" or "Minimal Desktop", I have a pop up saying "Installation Starting" with &...
