similar to: How to Set Up a USB Key to Install CentOS

A new draft page has been created on how to set a USB key to install CentOS from ISO images. This would be most useful for netbooks or other systems without a CD/DVD drive. http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey Comments, please. Phil

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaRuntimeEnvironment Did not make it DRAFT as it has evolved from old pages, has been well tested, and is near perfect. :-) Constructive criticism is, as usual, solicited and welcomed. Phil

Created a new HowTo on running your own local mirror: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror Comments and (constructive :-) criticism are invited. Phil

I'm currently testing a process very similar to that found here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey And would like to update that doc with my observations once confirmed. Preliminary notes (not all relevant to that specific WikiPage - suggestions for where to put the non-kickstart info? First boot partition on USB is FAT32 and uses GRUB to chainload to the second ext2

A question on authorship and attribution policy for the Wiki. I originally credited Alan Bartlett for the page content on HowTos/ConfigureNewVideoCard, but he was not comfortable with that and the reference got removed in the edit process. I generally do not include my name on Wiki pages I create, but it is fairly common practice. Should there be a statement in the Guidelines covering this

I have some suggested tweaks and changes to http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 1. The user should be instructed to start rescue mode with networking in order to be able to retrieve the patch for mkinitrd. 2. The command to create /etc/mdadm.conf will result in an extra line "spares=1" while the array is still syncing. Adding " | head -1 " to the

Added an entry to http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General : 23. How do I provide appropriate information about my system when asking questions? Comments, corrections, and other (constructive :-) ) criticisms are hereby solicited. Phil

Please (particularly Smooge) review and comment on the new content at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide Based heavily on the pieces I added earlier to http://wiki.centos.org/Migration/5 Tried to keep it general. Would assume that we want only one page on Migration with sub-pages for specific versions. I referred to the CentOS 3 FAQ entry on WBEL migration but it would seem to be

I'd like to ask for permission to edit HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey. There was a recent forum thread on using Windows tools to create an installation USB (https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=44268&forum=55). I'd tried some suggested tools; see post no 20 in the thread. I'd like to edit the Wiki to reflect my results. Yves -- Yves

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/MigrationGuide/MigratingFiveToSix Have at it. :-) Phil

The discussions on the HowTos/MigrationGuide page[s] back in late March never reached closure. The last suggestion on structuring was that there should be version-specific pages such as HowTos/MigrationGuide/CentOS5. I see the page was linked to from HowTos, and Ralph's comment: 52 2007-04-15 13:16:02 2064 RalphAngenendt Linked to Migration Guides - people: Please link to your pages after

I found this http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey So for centos 7 if did the dd command seemed to work great. I did the install. So now I'd like to "modify" the USB key to add a boot menu option with my customer install options. I mounted /dev/sdb2 and edited the file /mnt/usb/EFI/BOOT/grub.conf added my menu item and rebooted to try to use it. It does not show up in

There's a mistake in HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey , so I'd like to ask that someone fix it, or that I be given editing rights. The mistake is that in the section on CentOS 6, step 8, the correct command is "syslinux /dev/sdb1" (only). Also, although this isn't a mistake, I'd like to suggest mentioning in step 1 that the reason why part of the USB key has to be formatted

Hello list, I found an error on the page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey, and I wanted to fix it, but appararently I need to follow this procedure. The error is you need 20mb on the USB VFAT partition in stead of 10mb for the latest CentOS 5.x releases. My wikiname is RonArts. Thanks, Ron
