CentOS 7 installation

Post by Alain Reve » 2019/02/17 10:27:20

I'm trying to install CentOS but I have problems.

I found on this page some hashes:
http://mirrors.prometeus.net/centos/7/i ... 256sum.txt
And the sha256sum of both are correct
sha256sum CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1810.iso
38d5d51d9d100fd73df031ffd6bd8b1297ce24660dc8c13a3b8b4534a4bd291c
sha256sum CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1810_2.iso
6d44331cc4f6c506c7bbe9feb8468fad6c51a88ca1393ca6b8b486ea04bec3c1

But when I installed the DVD version, I only got a terminal-like screen.
Is this normal? Is there something I should type? I tried "startx" and "xinit" but each time I was told "no such program".

Should I
- Delete it and try again?
- Delete it and try the Minimal version?
- Do something else?

If you have just installed it, maybe it'd be easier to reinstall from the DVD but this time you should pay attention to the "software selection" (or whatever it was called) selection in the installer. The default is "minimal", which does not include a graphical user interface.

Thank you! I wish there was a word about that in the banners which see during the installation process!
