The last time I misplaced my netinstall CD, so I used the utility from the LiveCD.

Normally any burning program will have an option to 'burn an image', or similar. It's not usually as obvious as a plain burn, but tucked away in a menu. Now you know what you are looking for you should find it easily enough. One thing. Most burning applications give you the option to verify after the burn. What this means is that it calculates a checksum of the original file, then compares with the checksum of the burned file. It's a good idea to get into the habit of always setting the verify when it is available to you. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?

The CentOS Live CD are not 'install' CDs -- they don't include the installer or the RPMs. You should download the CentOS install DVD and burn that. > > Thank you, > > Sam > > MIME-Version: 1.0 > > ___ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS@centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software-- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows hel...@deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/ ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS on Acer Laptop
I have very basic question: I have downloaded *CentOS-5.3-i386-LiveCD* from CentOS website. Now I need to install it on my Acer Laptop permanently not as a liveCD. How do I burn it to a DVD to be able to install it by simply restarting my laptop? Thank you, Sam ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
