Hi -
I have an Engineering lab that was set up to dual boot with windows 7 and CentOS 6. This has worked just fine.
I would like to get advice on doing the same with Windows 10.
Steps I have tried - 1. Free up space for CentOS 7/C7 (50 gb). 2. Reboot to C7 installer. 3. Go to "SYSTEM -> INSTALLATION DESTINATION"
Here I see my single Local Disk with 48.83 GiB free. I selected "I will configure partitioning" and hit "Done".
This brought up - "New CentOS installation" and at the bottom 48.83 Gib free. I would like to put my C7 in there.
I set the "New mount points will use the following partitioning scheme" to "Standard Partition" and hit "+". I get a popup titled "ADD A NEW MOUNT POINT" or where I have to select a "Mount Point" of /, /boot, /home, /var, swap, or biosboot.
Do I have to select and define all the above all or is there a subset that will allow me to install C7? What would be reasonable sizes for the partition?
After the install - how do I configure grub to Dual boot?
Finally, is there a way to automate the process? I think with the W7 and C6 I was able to create on script that would execute and setup a PC automatically.
Thanks - I hope this is do-able.
