Booting from a live DVD is suitable, but changes may not survive reboots (not sure what all is in the training, but RHC* materials usually require reboots to ensure changes stick). I'd do what John mentioned as what he's going to do - some kind of persistent virtual machine.
I run a mac and use virtualbox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) all the time. Grab an ISO from https://www.centos.org/download/ and go nuts :) http://www.jeramysingleton.com/install-centos-7-minimal-in-virtualbox/ looks like a reasonable walkthrough. You can also use vagrant (https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html) - and installed that, then downloaded and booted http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-7.box. Came right up (vagrant init ~/Downloads/CentOS-7.box ; vagrant up ; vagrant ssh) hth wesley On Fri, Jun 9, 2017 at 4:03 PM, Michael L <helpwithmath...@gmail.com> wrote: > For a one day solution, I just had the idea of booting from a CentOS live > DVD.
