Re: Centos 8 minimal install

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,


someone pointed out the 'boot' iso, it's approx 600Mb, which works if you can connect to a network.  I used that.


In previous versions, I just downloaded the 'minimal install iso', mostly because it is a habbit because my network connection used to

be a lot slower, so I downloaded them over night.

I tend to install in different ways at work, just depends.  Of course you can get the 7.something or 8.something iso, mount it on a loop

and export it to use it as an install, or http, or kickstart etc etc..  but if not too big, having a disk with it comes in handy.

(especially if it is not supported anymore, and you really need that old disto, because of that 'thing' you need to run  *lol*)


It's not headless, I have a few machines on a kvm switch,  but after the initial install I use as if they are.


Yeah I don't care much about top or bottom either,  if someone likes top, it's top, if someone likes bottom it's bottom   *lol*


I think posting on top is easier than bottom than shredded in the middle,   less likely overlook stuff that way....   whatever you choose, some

just like top, others get po-ed by it..  can't make everyone happy all the tme.


thanks for the tip !


Ron

Hi R C.

The resulting installation is smaller than the image that you download through FTP, etc.  When I first installed this OS during version 5, I was amazed that the installation took a  mere fraction of the time it took to go through the menu.  Heh.

Anyway, give it a whirl as it’s quick.  I’m assuming you mean a headless installation.

Oh and I’m top posting because it’s logical.

What I see is a 7.4Gb and a 8Gb iso,  that can't be 'minimal'


Cheers, Bee
