Usuially, I simply use the default config for about everything; it worked well every time...
I don't remember every detail... sorry for that

Emmanuel, I used a totally different approach by using VMware: the trick is to install on a physical device which is the USB drive. When the installation requests a reboot, simply boot on your USB and off you go!
That is pretty much what I did. Boot DVD 1 with a USB DVD drive, install to /dev/sda which is the USB flash drive. When the installation requests a reboot, shutdown, remove as well as leave the DVD drive around and reboot... and only grub prompt or Error 21.
Maybe there's a minor but critical step I'm missing so I'll appreciate it if you could outline in greater details how you did it.
I've tried installing grub to both MBR i.e. /dev/sda as well as first partition /dev/sda1 but neither works. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
