USB Installation question
Posted: 2011/07/05 18:00:16
Greetings everyone, forgive me for anything that seems overly obvious here as this is my first experience with linux.
I'm trying to install Centos 5.6 onto an old computer I have lying around. I don't have any blank CDs or DVDs to actually burn the iso onto at the moment. So I downloaded the i386 iso and installed it onto my 8GB jump drive using the liveusb creator.
When I boot the computer with the drive plugged in, I get prompted for the graphical or text install. No matter what I seem to do, it only does the text install. So I try to move forward. I select english for language, US keyboard, and then it asks for the media that holds the packages to be installed. Installing from a jump drive, I chose hard drive press F2 and select my jump drive. It asks me to "Select the file which is your driver disk image". From here, I'm lost.
My question is, am I doing this correctly? If so, what file am I looking for for the driver disk image?
I've tried to look for a guide on installing this using the usb, but all I can find is a guide saying how to set up the usb.
