Basic operations after CentOS 6.4x64 minimal installation

After CentOS 6.4x64 minimal is installed to a minimum, no setup command is available. Nic IP addresses cannot be set in character menu mode or updated using yum. The rpm package is installed.

1. ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 // temporarily set the IP address of the NIC

2. route add default gw 192.168.0.1 // temporarily set the route.

3. vi/etc/resolv. conf

Nameserver 192.168.0.1 // Add DNS

If the above network settings are correct, you should be able to ping www.bkjia.com

4. yum update // update the centos 6.4 installation package.

5. yum install ntsysv

Yum install system-config-firewall-tui

Yum install system-config-network-tui

After installing the above rpm packages, the familiar setup graphical interface will appear.

Then we can set IP, route, and dns through the interface we are familiar.

6. Install GNOME Desktop Environment

Yum groupinstall 'desktop'
