List of images in this directory
================================
CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso
This DVD image contains all the packages that can be installed using the
installer. This is the recommended image for most users.
CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-2009.iso
This is the network install and rescue image. The installer will ask from
where it should fetch the packages to be installed. This image is most
useful if you have a local mirror of CentOS packages.
CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-2009.iso
This image contains the complete set of packages for CentOS Linux 7. It can be
used for installing or populating a local mirror. This image needs a 16GB USB
flash drive as it is too large for DVD isos.
CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGNOME-2009.iso
CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveKDE-2009.iso
These images are Live images of CentOS Linux 7. Depending on the name they use the
respective display manager. They are designed for testing purposes and
exploring the CentOS Linux 7 environment. They will not modify the content of your
hard disk, unless you choose to install CentOS Linux 7 from within the Live
environment. Please be advised that you can not change the set of installed
packages in this case. This needs to be done within the installed system
using 'yum'.
CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-2009.iso
The aim of this image is to install a very basic CentOS Linux 7 system, with the
minimum of packages needed to have a functional system. Please burn this image
onto a CD and boot your computer off it. A preselected set of packages will be
installed on your system. Everything else needs to be installed using yum. The set
of packages installed by this image is identical to the one installed when choosing
the group named "Minimal" from the full DVD image.
Using the installation images
=============================
You can burn these images to a DVD or 'dd' them to a USB flash drive.
After the boot media has been prepared, boot the computer off the boot media.
If you do an install to your hard disk using these installation images, please
remember to run "yum update" after the installation to update your system to the
latest packages.
Remember that in order to be able to partition your disk you will need to run
the GUI installer which in turns needs enough RAM. The same is true for the
network setup step. Please refer to the release notes available at http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7 for more details about
these aspects.
CentOS Project shifts focus to CentOS Stream
Tuesday , 8, December 2020 https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/
The future of the CentOS Project is CentOS Stream, and over the next
year we’ll be shifting focus from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a
current RHEL release. CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end
at the end of 2021. CentOS Stream continues after that date, serving as
the upstream (development) branch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
