Installing CentOS

Part III—Installing CentOS 6


Note that there's a bug in the way the CentOS 6
installer is set up. If you accept the default
partition settings, you'll have a “/boot” partition
that's too small to allow you to do kernel updates.
Note that I made a slight error here, and didn't find
out until after I made the screenshot.

It turns out, that four Gigabytes is too small for a


CentOS 6 root partition. You'll need to go to at
least five Gigabytes for the installation to proceed.
