CentOS7.5 install issue with 640x480 screen

Post by ssklly » 2018/05/25 07:41:46

I installed CentOS 7.5 with a screen the resolution is 640x480, parts of the images shown at the bottom during install are clipped. How can I fix this issue, it is hard to install without the full screen can be seen.

I guess you could try text mode install:

You'd be better using a vnc display to install than the text mode - text mode offers no option to change anything. Or just use a bigger screen.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
