install CentOS on VMWare 5.5

Posted January 30th, 2006 by Administrator

CentOS can’t find the virtual drive with the default settings. for it to work:

  1. choose linux->other linux 2.6 kernal
  2. advanced setup
  3. LSI disc logic
  4. choose IDE instead of SCSI

Also:
without cd’s use alcohol 120% or something similar because VMWare can’t seem to change images. I saw some people had problems with the emulated clock and I’m sure the power saving features on my laptop won’t help… so we’ll see how that goes.

UPDATE: whatever you do, don’t remove python with yum, because it removes just about everything else you need (including yum). dOh!
