I recently used a purchased centos 5.2 dvd to install.
It all went smoothly, and I am up and running
automagically it seems to have upgraded itself to 5.3 Final
One peculiarity:
I believe I was given the choice of:
--installing the bootloader into mbr
or
--no bootloader install
I did not want my mbr overwritten, so I chose no bootloader
Why is there no choice of 1st sector of root partition?
or did I just miss it?
I wanted to chainload the centos install,
but that requires grub installed into 1st sector of root partition.
So after the os install
I used knoppix livecd to
> grub
root (hd1,4) # sdb5 is my centos partition
setup (hd1,4)
and centos now loads from a chainloader +1 in my grub partition
So I have fixed it;
but curious as to why the install dvd didn't give me the choice there.
