Install CentOs 6.5 on VMware 10

I recently re-checked laruence and prepared to install CentOs. The latest version is 6.5, and the book is 5.x, which is slightly different ~

My VMware version is 10.0.1 build-1379776

First, create a new virtual machine and mount the iso file (the first one for two iso files and the other one for the same directory)

Start, the following screen appears

Install or upgrade an existing system Install or upgrade the existing system
Install system with basic video driver
Rescue installed system enters system Repair Mode
Boot from local drive exit installation start from hard disk
Memory test Memory Detection
Select the first option to install or upgrade the existing system.

If you have a question about whether to test the CD media, select "Skip" to Skip the test. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time.

Then select language-Simplified Chinese, and keyboard-American English

Select the basic storage device. The following page is displayed. Select Yes to ignore all data.

Then set the host name, date and time, and root user password.

The following page is displayed. Select create custom layout, and you can partition by yourself.

The size of my virtual disk is 15 GB.

/Boot (Linux kernel loaded) 100 M

/Root partition 10 GB

Swap 512 M

Remaining partitions for/home users

This is basically the ratio. The/boot partition is generally 100 ~ 200 M, swap if the memory is enough, it will be divided into less points, or not divided, generally 1.5 ~ 2x

The/boot partition must be loaded as the primary partition, as shown below:

Next, format and write the changes to the disk. The default step is "Next ".

Install it to different degrees as needed

I chose Desktop here. In addition, if you need a special one, you can select the current custom below and select the software you need to install.

Then there is the installation process. You can have a cup of tea. After the installation is complete, select reboot and restart.

If you have selected the desktop method before, the following basic settings will be available after the instance is started.

Set by step, user name and password, date and time, and kdump

When the last item is to configure Kdump, but the problem arises again, "There is not enough memory to configure kdump". If not, ignore it.

Kdump is a kernel crash dump mechanism. When the system crashes, Kdump will capture system information, which is very helpful for the cause of the crash. Kdump needs to reserve part of the system memory, which is unavailable to other users.

If this error occurs, enter the system-config-kdump command in the terminal, as shown below:

If you do not need the kernel debugging information, you can disable Kdump directly. Otherwise, you can use the following methods to handle it:

If the kdump is 0, allocate a number smaller than the system memory to it, select the application, restart the terminal, and enter service kdump restart (root) again. If it is normal, the problem is solved.

But sometimes an error may still occur. You can restart it after re-loading.
