Would you like to check that it now reads correctly, please? There are a few more points that should be added. They should all appear after the end of the current list. During the installation process, the user is asked What type of media contains the installation image? The user should select the first partition on the USB key, which usually appears in the menu under Hard drive, then /dev/sdb1. After partitioning, the user is asked whether to install the Grub boot loader and where to install it. After booting from the USB key, the BIOS thinks that the USB key is the first drive. To install the Grub boot loader on the hard drive, which is the usual case, the user must change the order of the hard drives using the Grub installation options. After the Grub installation options, the following error message appears: Missing ISO 9660 image: The installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard drive. The installation program is looking for the ISO file on the first partition of the USB key, but it's on the second partition. The user should go to a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2), unmount the first partition of the USB key (umount /mnt/isodir), mount the second partition (mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/isodir), return to the installation program (Ctrl-Alt-F6) and choose Retry. (Unmounting /dev/sdb1 doesn't interfere with the installation process. I tried creating a link from /dev/sdb1 to the ISO image, but that didn't work, because /dev/sdb1 contains a VFAT or FAT32 flle system which doesn't support links.) Thanks for the suggestions, and the help editing.. I will try to get to it soon. Phil ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

My UserName is GuillaumeRembert. There are some commands which are not valid anymore on some articles, with CentOS 6.2 release, that I would like to correct. Can you tell me where you want to edit? We begin with a few editing rights, which then can be expanded. Cheers and thanks, Ralph Hello Ralph, The major part that I would like to edit is currently linked to this article. I would like to update it for the CentOS 6 distribution: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS I don't exactly know how are managed the wiki editing rights, but what could be nice is to have a kind of intermediate editing profile, where somebody wanting to contribute could make some corrections on any article, but there would be a moderator that confirm the information can be published, in order to keep control on the quality of the docs. This would avoid that some information would be lost mainly due to this hard procedure to edit/correct an article. I took some notes on what I found out has changed on this article hopefully, but I will have to perform again the steps to make sure that it is alright. I am currently on servers installations. There will be some other services and configurations that I am going through on CentOS 6, like mails, web, etc (installation of them from the minimal setup with the new IPA engine). Is it possible? What do you think about it? Guillaume ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
