I <br>would like to install the aarch64 CentOS 1611. However I am finding very <br>limited information on the web as how to go about doing that. Can <br>somebody get me started on what I need to do in order to install CentOS <br>1611? Some initial questions.<br><br>1.) Can the aarch64 distribution even be installed on a Raspberry PI 3?<br><br>2.) If the answer to question 1 is yes, can somebody give me some <br>instructions on how to proceed? Links to any quick start or installation <br>guides would be appreciated.<br><br>3.) I have not been able to get X windows to start with the armv7hl <br>CentOS version already installed. Will Gnome run on Raspberry PI 3 or is <br>some other desktop graphics suggested?<br><br>Thank you for your help getting started.<br></blockquote><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54012" style="display: block;"><div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54011"><div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54010"><div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54032"><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54173"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54178">Hi Paul<br></div><br><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54101">I've had success with kraxel's AArch64 Fedora builds for RPi3.

judging by the date, this CentOS image will be something like 7.2 - and
probably won't support kernel upgrades (but you might be able to upgrade the
packages) to get you to 7.3.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54202"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54203">best regards,</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1484392053713_54204">Richard<br></div></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
