I. Installation of the CentOS system for Linux learning (installed under VMware)

First, download

This really does not have any technical content, also does not attach the download connection. It is important to note that the installation of CentOS under VMware is very simple, but here I want to record the installation of CentOS on the PC, the reason is not the same as the title because in order to record I am operating on VMware, So if there is a difference in the actual installation I will specifically mark in the text.

Second, installation

1. Turn on the computer and choose to press F2 (some models are del) to enter the Bois interface (if it is a VMware installation, select the system you want to enter and then click "Virtual Machine"--"power"-"Enter firmware when power is turned on" to go directly to the Bois interface)

2. Use the TAB key to switch to boot (boot entry)

3. Select CD-ROM drive and press the "*" number (this option should remain first) to enable the system to boot from CD-ROM when booting. Of course, when the system is installed, it will need to enter again Bois to the default hard drive, otherwise, he will boot from CD-ROM drives.

It is important to note that if you start with a virtual machine, you do not need to change the Bois, because the virtual machine is smart, he will automatically change the startup item

4. Save Exit Bois

5. The interface will go to the installation interface, select the first "install or upgrade an existing system" installation or upgrade of existing systems

6. A hint will then pop up "to begin testing the media vefore installation Press OK ..." probably meant to be afraid your disc image is incomplete, asking if you want to check it, If you have confidence in your disc image directly skip can, so I chose to skip, I do not know if you choose OK what will be

7. Then there will be a graphical installation interface, click Next

8. Install language selection, of course Chinese, then next

9. Keyboard selection, select American Keyboard, next

10. Select basic storage device, next

11. There may be a pop-up box that says that you may have data on VMware (primarily for users who have previously used VMware to install a CentOS system, of course, this does not have to be too mind, if pop-up you choose Yes, ignore the data, don't worry too much)

12. Then give Linux a hostname, this random, then next

13. The default is the Asian Shanghai time zone, you can check the lower left corner of the time can be synchronized online, and then next

14. Set the password for the administrator, this customization (the default username is root), then next

It is important to note that if your password settings are too simple may pop up a hint that your password is too simple, you can choose to reset the password, you can also self-willed to use the current password.

15. You will then be asked to choose the partitioning method for Linux, select the bottom one, and then next

16. Choose New, default is the standard partition, for the novice is the standard can be, and then choose to create, will pop up the following interface, the creation process is not difficult, here does not say, but pay attention to some of the following things

Hanging in the point is actually the meaning of the partition, here to introduce the concept of Linux partition mount

1. Required Partitioning:

/(root directory, when the following three partitions are created, all the remaining space can be used for this partition)

Swap (swap partition, twice times the general set of memory, the use of virtual machines, preferably not more than 2G, of course, your computer wayward you can choose a larger point)

2. Recommended partitions:

/boot (boot partition, at least 200M so that even if your other disk is full, the system can start normally, of course, this partition is not required)

/Home (I see a lot of systems, so set it up)

3. In addition to swap, the other three partitions can be found in the drop-down list of the first option, and the swap partition is selected in the second drop-down list.

That's what it's all about, and next.

17. Then a hint will pop up, that is, you can format the disk, no matter, choose format to

18. Then a prompt pops up to write the partition you created earlier to disk, select write to Disk

19. You will then have the option to start the boot location of the installer, by default, and then select Next

20. Then choose which Linux mode to install the system, since learning Linux, that will certainly not choose a graphical interface, so should choose minimal, but considering I am a novice, so I choose Basic Server (Basic servers), which will bring some off-the-shelf software, For the veteran, minimal can be. Then tick the lower left corner of the first radio box (Customize later), then next, and then start to automatically install the

21. Wait a moment after the installation is complete, and then click the reboot, that is, reboot the system, if it is installed on the PC, here to restore the hard disk in the Bois interface boot. After the reboot is complete, enter the user name password to log in successfully. This way, even if the installation is complete.
