Yeah, that didn't work as expected ... The system was setup to always boot from the HD first ... in order to change that I had to go in the BIOS and flip the order around so it would boot from the CD. So, I ended up stealing a coworker's keyboard when they went to lunch. Returned it before they came back ... no idea their keyboard took a short "trip" ...
Once that got fixed, since I already made a disk following the link that Chris Stone sent, I went ahead and tried it et voila, works. So thanks to everyone for helping here.

So I'm in a bit of a pickle ... I have a machine that needs to be repurposed from WinXP to CentOS. I downloaded the CentOS DVD and all
then
realized ... I don't have a keyboard/mouse for the machine. It only has USB ports on it, and I don't have a single available USB keyboard that I can plug in. Bit of a problem.
Usually what I do is install via VNC anyway, but that is contingent on me already having something on the machine that allows me to connect to it
so
that when it boots up, I can edit the boot parameters and enable VNC. I don't have that this time.
So, the question is: can I make a DVD image that starts the installer
with
VNC options set and if so, how do I go about that? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
