===== OS installation =====
==== CenOS installation with usb ====
Create partition with fdisk

    mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1
    sudo yum install livecd-tools
    sudo umount /dev/sdc1
    sudo livecd-iso-to-disk  CentOS-6.4-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso  /dev/sdc1

If not bootable
    sudo parted /dev/sdc
    (parted) toggle 1 boot # 1 is partition number
    (parted) quit


==== Error: when installing from USB, usb driver name may change. This works!!  ====

If you want to just put the netinstall iso on your USB device and install CentOS via URL, do this:

    use maxschlepzig's method above to get the netinstall iso on your USB device. That method only works with self-contained ISOs that have all the packages you need for installation.

    boot the USB device

    at the bootloader screen ("Install or upgrade an existing system" etc.), press TAB to edit boot options

    remove the whole stage2=... section.

    add "inst.repo=", where the url is something like http://mirror.stanford.edu/mirrors/centos/6.3/os/x86_64

    press Enter to boot

it will first try to find preview.img and one other file that doesn't exist, but will eventually timeout and fetch install.img and allow you to go through the netinstall.

see http://wwoods.fedorapeople.org/doc/boot-options.html for Anaconda boot options
