I'm a newcomer to CentOS.
Fedora 14 was the last Fedora version I managed to make work.
Fedora 16 I couldn't install at all.
Fedora 17 installed, but I couldn't make it work right.
I'd been trying to do media-less installs because
Fedora wouldn't read my DVDs anymore.
What directions I could find for installing CentOS
without media were not all that clear to me,
so I did some guesswork informed by some of the Fedora documents.
I used the following grub stanza:
title Install Centos 6.2 from net install iso
find /centos/vmlinuz
root (hd1,9)
pause paused
kernel /centos/vmlinuz method=http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/centos/6/2/os/i386
initrd /centos/initrd.img
The find and pause were not really necessary.
I think vmlinuz and initrd.img were copied from a net_install.iso file.
Much to my surprise, it worked the first time.
