Sorry, Les. I did read your suggestion, and it was indeed on my list of options, if running Network Installation from the Live USB stick didn't work. And I have noted it for CentOS-6, since apparently Network Installation from CentOS Live CD will no longer be available. (Why not, as a matter of interest?) But when I said "simple" I really meant "following official methods and instructions given by Them, the CentOS powers-that-be". I assume that the lack of a CD drive on the HP micro-server is a sign of things to come, so I would hope there would be an official method of installing CentOS on such a machine. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
