The first time I used VMware and centos6, I encountered a lot of problems in the middle, and I had a poor memory. I 'd like to keep it for future reference. It is also convenient for my friends who have encountered these problems to make a reference :), my operating system is win7 flagship version, VMWare Version is VMware-workstation-full-7.1.0, centos version is CentOS-6.0-i386, 32-bit (note if Windows itself is 32-bit, the centos version should also be 32-bit. Otherwise, the system will prompt that it is not supported or can be installed and used. However, to avoid unnecessary troubles, the centos version should be 32-bit)
Install VMware first.
Double-click the installation file to display the welcome page:
Click next:
Select typical here, continue to next, and then select the installation Destination path until the installation is complete. Enter the serial number in the middle and search for one online. This is simple and will not be introduced, restart your computer after installation.
Ii. Install centos in VMware
Restart VMware and choose file-New-virtual machine,
Select Custom and next here:
Select workstation6.5-7.x, next:
Select the third item here and install it later for easy configuration. Select I will install the operating system later, next:
Choose Linux here, select centos in version, because it is 32-bit, so do not select CentOS-64bit, next:
Select the path for storing the image file. Enter the Virtual Machine name and installation path here. Next:
Select the number of CPU cores allocated to the virtual machine. If the number of CPU cores selected for the Virtual Machine exceeds the actual number of CPUs of the Local Machine, VMWare will give a warning. Next:
Virtual Memory Allocation. Generally, the default value is mb. Next:
Here is the network type allocation, which can be divided into three types: bridge, Nat, and host-only. The approximate difference is
1 Bridge: equivalent to connecting the host and virtual machine to the same hub. The virtual machine and the host must be configured on the same network segment.
2 NAT: Use vmnet8 to enable necessary VMware services on the host, such as vmvare DHCP. Set the VM to DHCP. Of course, you can also manually set it to the same network segment of vmnet1.
3 host-only: Use vmnet1 to directly communicate with the host. You can use ifconfig to view the configuration.
Select Nat here and next:
Select the IO controller type and select the default one. Next:
Select the virtual hard disk type. Here, create one. Next:
Select the type of the disk to be created, and select the default type. Next:
Select the disk space size. The default value is enough.
Set the virtual image file name. Default Value: next:
After the VM is created, confirm the VM information and click Finish.
Next, right-click the virtual machine created on Vmware and choose settings
Click "CD/DVD (IDE)" to open the vm cd settings page, click "use ISO image file", click "Browse", and select the ISO file of the image to be installed.
Click "power on this virtual machine" to start the virtual machine.
Select the second one, and press enter to start installation.
Check the disc and select Skip.
Select the installation language. Here, select Simplified Chinese.
Select the keyboard, select the United States, and next
Select default. Next Step
This is to format the virtual disk you just set. You can choose "reinitialize all" with no other files lost.
Enter the host name. Next step:
Select the time zone. The default value is enough.
Enter the password. Next step:
Then
Select minimal here, select Custom now, and add some necessary components. Note that if you select Custom later, the virtual machine may fail to access the network due to the lack of components, although it can be set later, however, it is a bit difficult for cainiao to configure it. Therefore, you can select Custom components to add necessary components.
Perl is required. Otherwise, VMware Tools, system managerment tools, and network tools cannot be installed. Otherwise, you cannot access the Internet.
