I hope you can download the DVD and enjoy Centos 7. "Get Centos 7 Now" to "DVD ISO" to the list, and pick any link off of the list. The DVD will be quite self-explanatory. The only caveat is to make sure you go into the link for your network card and configure it. Otherwise Centos will start up with the network card turned off.
expecting possible problems, i pulled network, live, and dvd iso file at same time. all passed sha256sum check.
when i 'dd' dvd iso to a usb stick, it ran ok, but when trying to define partition to install to, i keep getting message that drive was not defined again, even after having wiped sda before running c7 install, so i exited install. maybe i should not have pre sliced drive.
my thinking shifted from a straight install of c7 to using a fresh and updated c6 install and run "yum upgrade CentOS-7.0-1406".
next i installed c6.4 to sda as sda1= /boot, sda3= swap, sda3= /, sda5= /home.
not clearly thinking, when setting time zone, i unchecked hardware clock as utc. which i realized after installing c6.4 and after running "yum update".
there seems to be something about yum and hw clock and utc, because yum changed hw clock to utc, which i noted when i closed terminal i had run yum in. i have had this happen before.
so an 'in between' question, how do i go about changing /etc/localtime so that i can reboot, change bios clock to utc and have desktop show correct utc-6 time with bios set to utc time?
