CentOS on gpt and non-uefi

Post by user » 2015/10/04 10:41:52

I'd like to install a CentOS on non-uefi hardware and I don't understand why there it has to be an Microsoft Windows like idiot proof deadend and fun ruining this way or the highway, right into the installer, if one wants to proceed installing it on non-uefi hardware but within a partition from a guid partition table structured drive. I think there is a bottom left corner button on rhel that lets me continue installing it on my own risk if I deselect the bootloader: I use lilo. How to tackle this on CentOS?

Are you really running CentOS 5?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
