That is pretty much what I did. Boot DVD 1 with a USB DVD drive, install to /dev/sda which is the USB flash drive. When the installation requests a reboot, shutdown, remove as well as leave the DVD drive around and reboot... and only grub prompt or Error 21. Maybe there's a minor but critical step I'm missing so I'll appreciate it if you could outline in greater details how you did it. I've tried installing grub to both MBR i.e. /dev/sda as well as first partition /dev/sda1 but neither works. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
