install CentOS using an external USB cdrom

[ianbrn at gmail.com (Ian Brown)]

Hello,
I have an external  USB cdrom ; I have a machine which does not have
a VGA card and not  a standard IDE socket so you cannot connect a
CDROM internally to it ; it has USB port;
I want to install  CentOS using an external  USB cdrom on this machine,
through the serial port.

Is there a way to do it ? I am quite desperate about it.

The motherboard DOES enable configuing the BIOS to boot from a USB
device.
Regards,
IB
