Preface:
After VMware virtual machine installed, we will have to install it on a Linux system. I use: CentOS-6.3 version 64
text:
1, Linux system image file downloads
We must pay attention to the 64-bit or 32-bit. Check the command: file / bin / ls

2, install a Linux system
(1) Click VMware virtual machine interface, we choose to create a good virtual machine CentOS6.6, and then double-click the virtual machine simulation of optical devices
(2) change the setting drive, ISO image file to install linux system, select and click OK.
(3) open the virtual machine, equivalent to turn on the power to start the computer.
(4) after turning the virtual machine, the virtual machine disk set to the following settings, i.e., check the "connected" and "connection start." In fact, after the virtual machine is turned on by default on the check, but better to check.
(5) If the disc image file is properly loaded and recognition, it would start the following CD-ROM interface. If the error, then restart the virtual machine, and ensure the disc set correctly.
This means five options:
the Install or upgrade existing AN System: install the system or upgrade the system (during installation of the system is to use this option).
Install system with basic video driver: driver installation using the basic graphics system.
Rescue installed system: repairing the installed system.
Boot from local drive: exit the installation from the hard disk.
Memory test: detecting the storage medium.
(6) direct the transport to begin the installation process. It will appear the following interface: ask if you need to detect the CD image file? Because, we downloaded CentOS system image file itself is not a problem, so here choose "Skip (Skip detection)" to speed up the installation process.
(7) If all goes well, it will enter linux graphical installation interface. Click "Next" the next step.
(8) language setting used during installation, Pick "Simplified Chinese."
(9) to set the appropriate system keyboard, here choose "American English style."
(10) Select "Basic Storage Devices."
(11) then it will prompt the virtual hard disk you that virtual machine may contain data, because we are in the hard disk initial installation of the operating system, the hard drive itself is empty, what data does not exist, so I chose here "is, ignore all the data . "
(12) set up a virtual PC computer name, use the default value.
(13) set the linux system time zone, the default value of "Asia / Shanghai" button.
(14) to set the root account (root user, that is super administrator) password. Here, for convenience, it is set to 123456.
(15) asks what type of installation you want to be? The default is "Replace existing Linux system", which represents the previous delete linux partition, and then automatically partitioned and formatted, you can use this directly. Because, we are learning to install linux system, it is also the way to learn about how to manually partition, select the "Create custom layout" to manually partition the virtual hard disk. Click Next.
(16) Here's how to manually partition and format the virtual hard disk (if in one operation, instead of "Creating a Custom Layout" you choose, you can skip this step). Disk partitioning process, there must be a partition is the root partition (mount point /) and a swap partition (not a mount point), it is recommended to have a partition is the boot partition (mount point / boot). Generally in accordance with the boot partition, and swap the order of the root partition to partition the operation, the specific steps are as follows:
First, create a boot partition (boot partition), click on "Create."
Selection criteria partition, click "Create."
200M boot partition size allocated enough, click "OK."
Then, again create a swap partition (swap partition), it is still the standard partition type, size distribution 1024M. Click "OK."
Finally, create a root partition, is still the standard partition type, select "Use all available space" (If you need to other subdirectories, such as / home also allocate disk space alone, it can operate before the root partition). Click "OK." Here, we just create three partitions.
Click "Next" on the virtual hard disk format operation. Click on "Format."
After formatting, the following screen appears, showing the mounted virtual hard disk boot program. The defaults, click "Next."
(17) After completion of partitioning and formatting operation, select CentOS installation options screen appears. In general, if more familiar with linux, we recommended "Minimal" minimal installation. However, for starters, if you choose to minimize installation, will lead to commonly used software or command does not exist, beginners might somewhat at a loss, this time, the best choice "Basic Server". Here we choose "Basic Server" option, click "Next."
Briefly explain eight mounting options:
Desktop: Desktop, a graphical interface that is installed.
Minimal Desktop: Desktop minimize that minimize installation graphical interface.
Minimal: minimize installation, no graphical interface.
Basic Server: basic server.
Database Server: database server.
Web Server: Web server.
Virtual Host: Web Hosting.
Software Development Workstation: Software development workstation.
After (18) installation is complete, the following screen appears, informing you CentOS system has been installed, and prompt you to reboot. Click on "Reboot" button.
(19) after the restart CentOS system interface, as shown below. This, the entire installation process is complete linux system.
