Introduction
Installation of Centos 5.2 as a PXE server to install Centos Servers via the network.
The reason for this project is that we need to teach the students Linux Clustering, and the students need to install a CentOS cluster. This server will reduce the time needed to install several cluster nodes.
Installation of CentOS 5.2
Harddisk partitionering
Single harddisk 40GB (Quite small, but the only one i could find)
| Mount point | Type | Size |
|---|---|---|
| / | ext3 | 1000 MB |
| /boot | ext3 | 1.000 MB |
| /var | ext3 | 4.000 MB |
| /tmp | ext3 | 1.000 MB |
| /usr | ext3 | 10.000 MB |
| /home | ext3 | 15.000 MB |
| swap | swap | 2.000 MB |
Choosing installation categories
- Desktop - Gnome
- Desktop - KDE
- Server
- Server - GUI
