I tried dd-ing the ISO onto a USB stick, as suggested in http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7, but it didn't boot. Did anyone have better luck with this?
In any case, I got it working by running livecd-iso-to-disk on a Fedora-20 laptop. I've found before that this is the best program around for the purpose.
But I've 2 queries about this:
1. Why isn't this program available on CentOS?
2. I find it strange the using a USB stick seems to be regarded as an out-of-the-ordinary idea. Are people still burning CDs or DVDs? And if so why?
I would have thought the time had come to make USB sticks the standard installation method? Certainly it should be treated on a par with DVDs.
I have two HP MicroServers running under CentOS, and these don't come with a DVD drive. I assumed this was becoming more or less standard?
