CentOS6.7 System text Installation

CentOS6.7 System text Installation

1. Select Virtual Machine Software

1) VMware Workstation

2) Hyper-V

3) VirtualBox

Ii. image files

Download CentOS6.7:

3. Install the system (text mode)

1. Load the image file. Here I use the CentOS6.7 system image. The following figure shows the image after loading the image, and then press Esc on the keyboard.

2. Press Esc on the keyboard, enter the command: linux text, and click Enter to start the system installation in text mode.

3. this is the first screen we saw after typing the command, prompting us to find the CD. Do you need to test the CD media before installing it? If you need to test it, select OK, if you do not need to, select Skip (press the Tab key and Enter to go to the next step). Here I select Skip, because the image file is correct and does not need to be tested.

4. This is the welcome page. Click OK to go to the next step.

5. here is the installation language, that is, the interactive language used during the configuration of the installation system. Here I can still select my preferred language, then I am now in simplified Chinese, and then click OK to go to the next step.

Unfortunately, we found that Chinese characters are not supported in the text mode and only English is supported.

Select an American keyboard based on our keyboard layout.

Here is the warning: to install the system, you need to initialize the virtual disk, which will cause loss of all data. There are four options:

Ignore, ignore all

Initialize all

Let's choose to initialize all, because there is no data in the disk. You can do this.

Select the time zone. Select Asia and Shanghai.

Then set the password for the system root. Here I set it to RedHat.

For the sake of security, we will be prompted that the password is too simple. Here is the lab environment. use anyway.

Next, we will start a very important setting during system installation, that is, the disk partition.

There are three options

(1) Use entire drive (using the entire disk)

This solution will delete all partitions on the hard disk and then split the hard disk again. If you have an operating system on your hard disk that you want to retain, do not select this option.

(2) Replace exiting Linux system (Replace the existing Linux system)

This solution will delete all GNU/Linux partitions on the hard disk and then split the hard disk again. This solution does not delete partitions of other operating systems. If you have a GNU/Linux system on your hard disk, do not select this option.

(3) Use free space (Use available space)

In this solution, no partitions are deleted, and only the space not allocated to any partitions is used for automatic segmentation. If your hard disk has already been occupied by another operating system, this item cannot be used.

Since this disk is clean, we can choose to Use entire drive for installation.

Prompt that data is about to be written to the disk. The previous partitions will be deleted. Do not hesitate.

Okay, you have already started to install it. You cannot customize partitions. The system has selected the default partition. I checked the reason on the internet because the partition function is blocked when CentOS6 is transplanted from RHEL6.

You need to customize partitions in text mode, and you can only install redhat.

After the installation is complete, reboot will enter the system.

So now the installation of CentOS in text mode is over.

Next, let's summarize the general steps in the installation process.

1. After the image is inserted, press the Esc key on the disk and enter the command linux text to start the installation of the operating system in text mode.

2. Select the installation language, keyboard layout, and set the root password.

3. Perform partitioning (the custom disk partition function is blocked after rhel6)

4. Start to install the Operating System

The most important thing is partitioning (custom partitions can be installed in graphical mode)
