Not as easy as it would have been with F19, but it worked out. You can create the image yourself. Take a basic EL7 x86 system (minimal install), grab the list of packages from that using: rpm -qa | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*//' | sort -u > packages.list You can then feed that to yum: yum --installroot=/path/to/media `cat package.list` Add a suitable boot loader configuration, kernel, initrd and /lib/modules/ and you should be good to go. It's not particularly newbie friendly, but it's not very difficult, either. Gordan
