Installing CentOS via Netboot in VMWare · 4 May 2009, 22:28
A quick blurb as I always forget this:
- Download and install VMWare Server 2.0 GPL edition (or other if you have the $$)
- Create a blank VM
- Download the netboot.iso from a CentOS web site
- Add the ISO as a virtual CD-ROM for the new virtual machine
- When prompted for installation media, choose HTTP, then enter
- In the site field – domain-name-of-mirror
- In the path field – URI to the base architecture directory
Example:
- Site – mirrors.xmission.com
- Path – centos/5.3/os/i386
No trailing slash on the domain and no leading or trailing slash on the URI path
