#VESAMENU.C32 RUFUS DOWNLOAD INSTALL#
When you boot from the USB and select Install CentOS 7, it now installs the system as described by your kickstart.-Installing Linux_mint 19.1 Assuming the system you are installing on only has a single HD the USB key will be enumerated as sdb more information about this can be found in the Softpanorama article. I suspect LABEL could be used here, rather than the enumerated device, which would make it safer, but I haven't tried this yet. The append line is changed to read the following: append initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:sdb2:/ ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg

Here is the install CentOS 7 entry from the Minimal ISO isolinux.cfg (which we renamed syslinux.cfg): label linuxĪppend initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CentOS\x207\x20x86_64 quiet So that it points to the ISO and the kickstart The final file structure looked something like this: BOOT/
Mkdir DVD & sudo mount /path/to/centos/dvd.iso DVD Sudo dd conv=notrunc bs=440 count=1 if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX N (create partition, accept defaults for type, number, first sector, and size) N (create partition, accept defaults for type, number, and first sector)Ĭ (change type to W95 FAT32 (LBA) - other FAT types may work, but I have not tried) Create an ext3 partition from the remaining space.

Create two partitions, one of type W95 FAT32 (LBA) (assigned code "c" in fdisk) of ~250MB, make this partition bootable.Below I will use /dev/sdX for the USB device. This can probably be done as a disk image too, though I haven't tried this yet. I thoroughly recommend reading all of the latter as it highlights the shortcomings/dangers associated with the steps below. Much of the process described below was found on the CentOS Wiki page on Installing from USB key, and from the Softpanorama page on the same subject. Therefore, I did not look into using ISO to USB applications - in addition, these typically do not allow custom kickstart files to be used. My interest was in doing this manually as I require this USB (image) to be created from a script. None of what is written below is particularly original, however, I was unable to find a method documented on the internet at the time of writing that successfully created a kickstart driven CentOS 7 USB installer.
