Hi,
I have a machine with a BIOS that does not permit DVD installation. It
accepts everything else including some old superseded media types.
Is it possible to download C6 combined parts 1 and 2 not using Torrent ?
I have an aversion to using anything that comes from unknown sources, as
used by Torrent.
Paul, you can go directly to the mirror server I maintain, it allows
direct download of DVD images:
http://bay.uchicago.edu/centos
You may prefer mirror geographically closer to you.
Can we also challenge this "torrents are untrustworthy" attitude.
You can be given an ISO from a shady character under a railway bridge, and as
long as the ISO matches the checksums you can source directly from the CentOS
https site (https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7), it's as
good as any other copy that's ever been in existence.
Why is a torrent source any worse than a copy off any of the official mirrors?
Also, why not just make your life easy and do a netinstall? That way you
don't have to try to do anything you're not comfortable with.
