A Note About CentOS Linux version 6.1
From the mailing list:
Since upstream has a 6.1 version already released, we will be using a Continous Release repository for 6.0 to bring all 6.1 and post 6.1 security updates to all 6.0 users, till such time as CentOS-6.1 is released itself. There will be more details about this posted within the next 48 hours.

could you please provide me link for centos 6.6 desktop.
i m unable to find on official website, please help me with this.
Okay. I have the iso file downloaded and the server i’m using (Proliant DL360e Gen8) intiates the drive and it tries to install CentOS, but it gets to a point where it says it can’t find a drive. What do I need to do. I’ve tried installing the dd files that were recommended for the RAID controller and that didn’t work. I’m out of ideas, do you have any? I was able to install windows successfully so I know the bay and the drive are good.
is this dvd iso is bootable or just installation dvd ??
can i use this for our SERVER machine?
Paul , did you use an iso burner to burn the files or did you simply move them? I have came accross issues like that where the user burned with the files moved to the disk (doh!). Use something like Coyotesoft’s Free Easy DVD Burner. Thats what I use for most burning activity. If you are sure you did this , it might just be you need to setup your BIOS to boot from CD. Most pcs and motherboards have this disabled when you buy them from my experience but you can enable them quite simply by opening up the BIOS settings. It will be under the boot order or boot options list. The procedure varies for each board but should be self explanitory when you get there.
There are many places!

Lots of mirror sites.
The link for the torrent files broken, where do i get them from?
Ok, I’m an idiot…
Now I downloaded the 6.2 64 bit DVD and burned a copy.
Now on my other PC, how do I install it?
Booting with the DVD in place won’t do it, is there something I have to do to point it to the right place?
Thanks!
Can I make a boot able USB driver from the DvD version?
is there any minimal iso that i can use? cause im planning to make a bootable pendrive which is 4gig in size..
thanks
I’ve already downloaded and tested it. Do You know what happened to the “setup” script ? It’s not present in CentOS 6.
i wanna centos-6*86_64 bit…..plzzz send me @ mine email address
You can always donwload from a CentOS mirror website. Check out http://www.Centos.org or http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30
guys, i tried …bt, it takes a long time …so humbly send me……
@Kubrick: there are no CD’s anymore, except for the netinstall. CentOS 6 is only being released on DVDs.
@Stephen: those updates will only be pushed later on, as the packages are made available to CentOS (after being ported from RHEL).
What about the installation CDs ?
Where could I find them ?
Thanks.
Kind Regards.
What about security updates introduced with RHEL 6.1? Does this include those? If it doesn’t, I don’t feel too comfortable standing up an vulnerable machine.
