How To Install A GUI On CentOS?

I have download Centos 6.5 and 6.5 and then install it on Virtualbox , but it is wonder that it do not prompt to ask to select what package need to be install during the installation process .

I checked that only 700M HD space is used to insall , therefore , it should be only minimal installation .

what I have download is CentOS-6.5-i386-bin-DVD1 and CentOS-6.6-i386-bin-DVD1 , the file size is 3.8G .

would advise how can I select package to install or run full install ?

thanks.

I just download the below files and tried to install it to virtualbox .

CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-DVD
CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-Everything


When it is booted to the DVD , it pop the below messages .

============================================
Install CentOS 7
Test this media & install CentOS 7
Troubeshooting

Press Tab ...
============================================

I tried to select any option , but the screen become dark , it seems the installation process is stopped ,

I tried Centos 5.x , it works fine , but Centos 7 not work.

would advise what is wrong ? thanks

I have a Centos 7 minimum install VM and I want to install the bind rpm's so I can enable the nslookup. I don't have internet access because it's an secure network so no yum commands. thanks

Hi,

I am new to the installation of Linux, and wish to install 3 different distro's on the same hard disk.

I have installed Centos 7 successfully as follows :

The /boot is /dev/sda2

/dev/sda1 is listed as unknown so i assume it is the Master Boot Record with Grub installed. I do obtain the option to boot to the various kernels after updating the OS.

/dev/sda3 is a Linux LVM with the various partitions i required.

When i installed the CentOS 7 the installer stated an error about the bootable partition - which was effectively /boot, so i moved this to /dev/sda2.

What i am not sure about is that if i want to install 2 other Linux OS's will i run out of /dev/sdaX assignments ?.

I read somewhere that there are 4 maximum that can be used a /boot (SDA1, SDA2, SDA3, SDA4), so does this mean i can only install one other OS ?.

Any guidance gratefully received. Thanks.

Regards,

Richard.

You need to be root to perform this command.

So I'm on the last step of this article to run vmware-install.pl to start installation of my VMware tools and I'm getting this error.

[root@LinuxTest01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
-bash: ./vmware-install.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory.

I do a ls in the directory and it shows the installer in there.
[root@LinuxTest01 vmware-tools-distrib]# ls
bin doc etc FILES INSTALL installer lib vmware-install.pl


The only step I didnt do in this article is the prereq. first step because Yum is always trying to connect to the internet and my Centos 7 box is on a classified network with no internet access.

Hi Team,

I have installed Centos 7 and I feel everything is totally changed.

I am able to see only 3 folders under /etc/init.d/......where as earlier versions have many other init scripts.

I tried installed Minimal & full installation, both have the same situation.
