[CentOS] Centos 7 installer alert! message
When I install Centos 7, I see an "alert!" message flash by, too fast to read it. Is there a way to figure out what that message is/was (after install) or make it wait so I can actually read it? thanks, Ron ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

And before someone suggests it, the 2010-vintage server I'm trying to install CentOS on does not support booting from a thumb drive, so that option is not available. What will it boot from? I do not use thumb drives. I have a USB interface to SD cards. Can you make the .iso file into a disk partition (not a file in it)? I've sometimes booted from one of those. -- Michael henne...@web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Just burned one. Well I am batting 0 for 1000 today. I am clearly not a good resource at the moment :). Thanks Lamar for checking the real source. Sure, no problem. I had a similar problem with a different version of CentOS, 8.3, which is too large to fit on a dual-layer DVD. I also had a similar problem with another product altogether, pfSense, which will no longer fit on a CD, even though the docs said 'CD/DVD image' and I was trying to repurpose an old server, 64-bit capable but very early 64-bit, that had a CD drive (parallel ATA thinline!) with a special connector, and I didn't have a DVD drive available. Oddly enough, that old box can boot USB, but only certain sticks, and so I used an old 1GB stick to boot pfSense on that box. I was prepared to boot an older pfSense and upgrade up to current. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
