CentOS 6,7 Minimize installation and install graphical interface

CentOS 6.2 Minimize installation and install graphical interface

When installing CentOS 6.2, I found that it did not prompt me how to install, but "on my own" to choose the minimum installation, the result is only the terminal interface after loading, because sometimes have to use the graphical interface, so if there is no graphical interface is very troublesome.

Later through the Baidu just know why it does not let me choose, because I use a virtual machine, because the physical machine itself is not high, so I did not assign too much memory to the virtual machine, and CentOS 6.2 will be based on the size of your allocated memory determine the installation method, the specific definition I also forget, as if it is 512M or 1G, But it doesn't matter, we can install the GUI on our own, and here's how to install it.

1.yum-y Groupinstall Desktop

2.yum-y groupinstall "X window System"

3.yum-y Groupinstall Chinese-support

4. Edit the/etc/sysconfig/i18n file and change the en_US to ZH_CN

5.init 5

After the above 5 steps can enter the graphical interface, because my default language is English, so there are 3rd, 4 steps, if you choose to install the Chinese, you can skip the 3rd, 4 steps.

Because the CentOS 6.2 graphical interface requires Chinese support, it is necessary to install the Chinese package.

Centos7 Installing the graphical interface

Here 's how to install the graphical interface under CENTOS7.

After installing the character operating system, use the network installation (network installation is relatively simple, do not need to configure yum files):

Yum Groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"-y

StartX

The installation method for Centos7 and CENTOS6 is not the same, just perform the above steps.
