。 USB Stick Installation CentOS6.5

Recently started to self-study Linux, there are many versions of CentOS online, but the tutorials are basically about CentOS6, in the latest version is not necessarily the most appropriate version of the principle, I choose to install CentOS6.5. Installation system A little attention will be error, the previous installation of the CentOS6.5 system can only be launched with a USB stick, after the data found to install the boot program installed on the USB flash drive.

------------------------------------------------

Below is I learn from predecessors to experience, the successful installation of the system to the steps, most of the content is reproduced content, I hope when you encounter and I have the same problem, these can help you.

------------------------------------------------

(a) write the ISO file to the USB flash drive

---------------

The ISO file can be written directly to the U-disk starting from centOS6.5.

Windows platform:
1. Open ISO with UltraISO (for example: Centos-6.5-x86_64-bin-dvd1.iso)
2. Then click "Start", "Write to Hard disk image", the hard drive is your u disk, image file installation CD ISO, write by usb-hdd+, click "Write" button. After the completion of the installation of the U-disk is ready.

Linux platforms:
Use the DD command to write the ISO file to the U disk. DD If=iso file Of=u disk. (such as: DD If=/centos-6.5-x86_64-bin-dvd1.iso of=/dev/sdb1)
Note: The DD command does not show the replication status after running, to see the replication status can open a terminal, enter "while KILLALL-USR1 DD;" Do sleep 5; Done "To view the replication status.

This method is 64-bit, 32-bit-all. I have installed 64 bits.
Note: This method only starts with CentOS6.5, and the old method is used for versions 6.4 and below.
