Not that specifically, but I did install CentOS-6 on a 3TB drive recently using that same installer. It will do it just fine, but you have to do it as a custom, I forget what they call it, when choosing the disk and partition. Also be aware that the CentOS boot loader ( grub ) can't work with disks 2G or larger !! It will be necessary to create a much smaller ( say, 500MB ) boot partition to work around the grub bugs. Grub will tell you it installed fine, but will otherwise never boot. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com "I like being single.
