What caught me out (_doesn't_ sounds like it did you though), was that the CentOS 6 x86_64 installer chose to do a text-based install, through lack of support for the graphics card, I guess (this is inside VMware Server 1.0!). The text-based install does not give you a choice of the kind of stuff to install, you just seem to get 'minimal'. I had much better luck after reading through the install guide (here: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/index.html ). Booted off the iso, hit <ESC> and then at the boot prompt: linux vnc. I could then use a VNC client to do the nice graphical install. hth someone Andy _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
