So, you might try burning the whole image to cd and booting that instead of trying to get to the net and install from the network.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 3:11 PM, Jug Knot <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jugknot@gmail.com" target="_blank">jugknot@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

- Centos 5.7 won't automount DVD media<br>- BIOS tweaks (boot to CD-ROM) have consistently failed<br>- ISO images (#$%&!). <br>- NetInstall vs full ISO CD/DVD<br>- k3b utility on my Centos 6.2 does not appear to make comparable/readable media for the Centos 5.7 box<br>

- Attempt to use 'install from HD' option shows only logical drives (eg /dev/sda1, etc).<br><br>Words can't describe my frustration with this process. SNAFU/FUBAR are a good start.<br><br>Looking for Sympathy and Advice<br>
