Sumatheja, In my case, I was never able to get Centos 5 to install using the livecd/dvd. fedora 13 worked from the dvd, although the issues i mentioned had to be dealt with. i'm not sure that the updated functions/drivers in f13 could be backported to centos5, and i have no idea if centos 6 would solve the issues either. it might even be, that there are/is an external repos that can be used for centos 5 to solve the issues.. good luck On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 6:08 AM, sumatheja <sumatheja@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Bruce and Jatin, > Thanks for the info.
