Also their server admin tools are great.

Ventoy is a cool Windows utility for creating a bootable flash drive. Just install Ventoy onto a flash drive then copy as many ISO images to the drive as there is room for and have a multi boot. flash drive.

Hello;

I am building a website with Ghost instead of Wordpress. I cant use shared hosting, so my webhost set me up with VPS. Im way out of my league.

I have figured out how to log into my server with SSH using terminal - I run Linux Mint. My webhost provider says Centos is installed on my server. But I cant figure out how to access Centos on my server.

[BaghdadiMoh]

[jeyav]

Do I need to flash the ISO file to USB stick? Is it mandatory step or I can directly use downloaded ISO DVD1 file in HP server virtual DVD ISO drive and start installation?

[brytonmassie]

I don't have a way to install Cent OS via disk, I would either have to do it via USB, or SD card; I am pretty sure that net install is not a viable option at this moment.

Thanks in advance!

I tried to install this a few times until I watched your video. I successfully installed Fedora 8 using the USB. However, when I tried to install CentOS is failed. Finally, after watching your video and using the Balena tool, it was clear that there was an issue with the USB drive. Maybe because it was 64GB. I do not know if this is the case. Anyway, thank you very much for your video. I have subscribed and look forward to more videos.

Good evening sir. I’m new to Linux n want to use it for labbing. How do I install the GUI version of the firewall. So I can allow certain programs?

[MrKrusas]

Thanx. Very useful. I'm new to Centos so have a question: after installation and hitting "Reboot" I'm getting"No bootable device -- strike F1 to retry boo, F2 for setup utility ...", so I have to switch to Legacy mode in order to get centos loaded. Is it OK?
