The net-install is really designed for people who put up their own server for doing 200 installs in one building. The ipxe.iso that you tried absolutely requires a special server on your local network. Yes, you can do a single install with the net install, but it should be your 10th or 20th, not your first. I hope you can download the DVD and enjoy Centos 7. "Get Centos 7 Now" to "DVD ISO" to the list, and pick any link off of the list. The DVD will be quite self-explanatory. The only caveat is to make sure you go into the link for your network card and configure it. Otherwise Centos will start up with the network card turned off. Ted Miller Elkhart, IN, USA
