This article introduces the knowledge of "detailed installation steps of CentOS 6.2". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

A brief introduction to CentOS

CentOS is one of the distributions of Linux. It is secure, stable, efficient, and one of my favorite Linux distributions. CentOS is compiled from the open source of RedHat Enterprise Linux and is not fundamentally different from RedHat Linux. But RedHat Enterprise Linux is commercial software, and you have to pay RedHat to use it, and CentOS doesn't have any restrictions on its use. If you need the stability of an enterprise operating system and don't want to pay for service support, CentOS is definitely your best choice.

II. CentOS download

Currently, the latest version of CentOS is 6.2. download address:

32-bit: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/i386/

64-bit: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/

3. CentOS installation steps

After the download is completed, you get two installation images (CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1, CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD2). The installation system only uses the first image file (CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD1), and the other image file (CentOS-6.2-i386-bin-DVD2) is the accompanying software package. For demonstration purposes, I used VMware workstation 8 for installation. Specific hardware configuration

Load the image file and start the power supply to install CentOS 6.2.

Enter the welcome interface

Select the first item to install (enter directly), the specific meaning of each:

Install or upgrade an existing system

Use the basic graphics card to drive the installation system

Enter system repair mode

Hard disk boot

Whether to test the installation image (just pass it)

Start setting up CentOS 6.2 (direct Next)

Set the language and keyboard type displayed during the installation process (here I choose English, of course, I can also choose Chinese. Keep the keyboard type by default)

Select the storage device type (the first item is selected by default: basic storage device)

Format the hard drive (select Yes,discart any data)

Set the computer name (just any name, default if you are too lazy to afford it) and choose the time zone (Asia / Shanghai is fine)

Set the root user password

Select the installation (partition) method (manually set the mount partition, select Create Custom Layout)

Mount a partition (create a partition by point Create, select Stantard Partition (standard partition) by default, and select mount point and partition size to create a partition)

The following is my partition method (you can choose different partitions for different purposes, and finally don't forget swap partitions), click Next, select Format (format), and then select Write Change to disk (write partition table to hard disk)

Install the mount bootstrapper (default)

Select the installed software (the default is the minimum installation, if you need to install the desktop, choose the first item Desktop), click Next to start installing the system

Installation is complete, restart by clicking Reboot

To start CentOS for the first time, you need to make some general settings for CentOS. Just go straight to Forward.

To create an ordinary user, Linux does not recommend using Root users to operate on the system. Root permissions are too high, and misoperation may lead to system crash. Therefore, it is recommended to use ordinary users, and switch if you need root user rights.

Set system time

Set Kdump, where a warning pops up, never mind. (actually, I can't use Kdump for the time being, so I don't need to set it up, just Finish it).

Then you will go to the login page, enter your user name and password, go to the CentOS desktop, and the installation is complete.
