As some folks on irc have pointed out, and has been covered a bit in the beta discussions: There is no longer a 'Minimal' install option for centos5 in anaconda, however if you choose 'Customize Now' and uncheck all the selections, you will get a minimal install that only requires disk1, and weighs in at around 594MB. With kickstart it is possible to further reduce the package set. Also, for folks who are used to using vga=foo type settings as kernel options, support for this appears spotty on the initial release, and this is an upstream issue as well. Bugs have been filed in the appropriate place. For now, the workaround for some folks is to remove the 'rhgb quiet' kernel options. For others, no amount of vga= trickery seems to work. YMMV.
It's always been spotty. Seems to depend on kernel support for the graphics set.
I can only get Intel graphics into framebuffer, on several distros, by loading i810fb or intelfb after booting and then (maybe) running fbset.
I don't like rhgb or quiet anyway, hides stuff you need when things break. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Z1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please do not reply off-list _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
