Submitted by trustzifa on 18. October 2010 - 13:09.
Installing Operating System.
Requirements:
a) Spare Machine or Virtualize on a relatively powerful Machine
b) Centos 5.5 DVD
Procedure
Download and install centos5.5 from your nearest FTP site or any other source available to you. You may use the following URL
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15
Use a spare machine to install as the installation process may involve wiping out your harddrive. Alternatively you may dual boot or install in a virtual environment on your current Machine but you need to know what you are doing to follow this procedure.

Sorry but I am only finding this now when I don't have enough time online for that long download - I live far from the internet! When is the deadline for submission of the "fdisk -l" output?
I also thought our trainers should have told us in advance that we needed to download this very big image for Centos.
I happened to be lucky that someone gave me a copy.
From our two classes and what the time-table shows,it maybe Friday this week.
To download CentOS from the link is too slow .it took me half a day and still i m trying .
