LiveCD not booting | #1 |

I downloaded CentOS-5.4-i386-LiveCD.iso from http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/CentOS/5.4/isos/i386 and after burning the cd will not boot. I see two folders on the cd LiveOS and isolinux. Am I suppose to burn another cd with the files from one of the isolinux folder? I am wanting to install the server. I can not find anything about what to do with the iso other than burning a cd and then booting to it.
Files in LiveOS folder: livecd-iso-to-disk osmin.img squashfs.img Files in isolinux folder: boot.cat initrd0.img install.img isolinux.bin isolinux.cfg memtest splash.jpg vesamenu.c32 vminst vmlinuz0 Appreciate any help, |

Did you check the md5sum or sha1sum of the iso file you downloaded? Did the burning process go without any errors?

Yes the characters matched with md5sum and there were no errors when burning the cd.

Not sure what is wrong with the LiveCD; however, if you want to install a server, the LiveCD is not what you want anyway. If you want to do a network install then you want the netinstall CD for the desired architecture, i386 or x86_64, although the LiveCD should offer the option for a netinstall. It is possible to do a minimal install from i386 CD#1 by de-selecting everything in the installer. For most people who can burn and read the format, the DVD ISO is the best choice. Choices are: # find . -name "*.iso" | sort ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-1of6.iso ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-2of6.iso ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-3of6.iso ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-4of6.iso ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-5of6.iso ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-6of6.iso ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-DVD.iso ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-LiveCD.iso ./isos/i386/CentOS-5.4-i386-netinstall.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-1of7.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-2of7.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-3of7.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-4of7.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-5of7.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-6of7.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-7of7.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-LiveCD.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-netinstall.iso ./isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-only-LiveCD.iso ./os/i386/images/boot.iso ./os/x86_64/images/boot.iso The ./os/<arch>/images/boot.iso images are identical to the CentOS-5.4-<arch>-netinstall.iso images. |

Thank you for the info. I did notice the DVD iso and I'm in the middle of downloading it through a torrent. Once completed I will burn it and try it.
Thanks again, roadhawg |
