Install CentOS 5.3

Insert DVD or iso file in Virtual Machine and start install :

Press ENTER to start install in graphical mode.

Click Next

Choose English for language of installation.

Pick U.S English for keyboard layout.

Click Next.

Choose ‘Remove all partition on selected drives and create layout’.

Click Next.

Since I use ‘Bridged’ mode I must insert network information :

IP address : 192.168.12.105

Netmask : 255.255.255.0

Followed by input :

Gateway : 192.168.12.1

Primary DNS : 192.168.12.1

Choose a region.

Enter password for root account.

Pick ‘Server’ from the list as the system intended for server task, no need GUI.

Click Next to start intallation process till finish.

When computer restart, ntsysv will ask a few things that might need to configure.

I choose to configure ‘services’ that will automatically started for CentOS 5.3

Computer restart and I try to login and check if ssh server started.

It works well so far
