Re: [CentOS] install CentOS 6 from minimal, console only

From: Mihamina Rakotomandimby mihamina@rktmb.org

I would like to install CentOS on this: http://www.lannerinc.com/x86_Network_Appliances/FW-7520

• No VGA/DVI
• Only a "console" port (the old 9600 baudrate one)
• Boot on USB actived by default

Would you know a tutorial helping on installing CentOS on this?

I guess I have to

• download the minimal iso,
• 'dd'-copy it to a flash USB drive
• setup some files to use the console instead of vga (which ones...?)

My desktopo side, I already have minicom et al installed, just looking for.

I would suggest an automated kickstart install, so you would not have to care about console access... If you still need it, google for "kickstart serial console". You can also use vnc...
