h1. Install Procedure for CentOS 7.x
2
3
I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take.
4
5
h2. 1 Requirements
6
7
To install such a system you will need the following:
8
9
* Network-Installation-Media @boot.iso@
10
* <del>The supplied two CentOS 7.x DVDs **or**</del>
11
* <del>Download the two CentOS 7.x DVDs from a mirror next to you (the list of mirrors can be found here:</del> <del>http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/).</del>
12
* a fast Internet connection.

h2. 2 Preliminary Note
15
16
In this tutorial I use the hostname @server1.example.com@ with the IP address @192.168.0.100@ and the gateway @192.168.0.1@. These settings might differ for you, so you have to replace them where appropriate.
17
18
h2. 3 Configure The Base System
19
20
Boot from your first CentOS 7.x DVD. 
21
As it can take a long time to test the installation media we skip this test here and press @<ENTER>@ at the boot prompt:

25
Choose your language next:

29
Instead of the step-by-step approach the previous CentOS-installer took, CentOS 7 uses a central point of configuration.
30
We will enter each section and return until all our settings are done.
31

h3. Network & Hostname
35
36
Set the hostname manually, e.g. @server1.example.com@
37
38
Enable the network interfaces and @configure@ each of them
39
40
!{width 500}centos7_inst04.png!
41
42
On to the configure network. The default setting here is to configure the network interfaces with DHCP, but we are installing a server, so static IP addresses are not a bad idea… Click on the Edit button after selecting the interface. 
43
44
!{width 500}centos7_inst07.png!
45
46
In the window that pops up uncheck Dynamic IP configuration (DHCP) and Enable IPv6 support and give your network card a static IP address (in this tutorial I'm using the IP address 192.168.0.100 for demonstration purposes) and a suitable netmask (e.g. 255.255.255.0; if you are not sure about the right values, http://www.subnetmask.info might help you) also enter a gateway (e.g. 192.168.0.1) and up to two DNS servers (e.g. 8.8.8.8 and 145.253.2.75). By default all interfaces are not connected automatically, in most cases you want to change this.

h3. Date & Time
51
52
Choose your time zone:
53
54
Check Date and Time, as many services are very dependant on the timestamp you should set an approprate time-server or even better a time-server-pool. If you have internet access and are based in germany you might want to use following public NTP-server-pool.
55
56
<pre><code class="bash">
57
0.de.pool.ntp.org
58
1.de.pool.ntp.org
59
2.de.pool.ntp.org
60
3.de.pool.ntp.org
61
</code></pre>
62
63
check www.ntp.org for details. If you don't have access to a public NTP-server ask your admin for a local NTP-server. 
64

h3. Keyboard
68
69
Select your keyboard layout:

71
!{width 500}centos7_inst09.png!
72
73
h3. Installation Source
74
75
you may point to a local source or a web-based-server
76
77
!{width 500}centos7_inst10.png!
78
79
h3. Software Selection
80
81
for this example we go for a standard @GNOME-Desktop@
82
83
But you may want to consider a more appropriate selection for your system.
84
85
!{width 500}centos7_inst11.png!
86
87
h3. Installation Destination
88
89
Typically you will choose @Local Standard Disks@ here 
90
91
!{width 500}centos7_inst12.png!
92
93
Now we must select a partitioning scheme for our installation. Usually you will want to configure the layout on your own.
94
95
!{width 500}centos7_inst13.png!
96
97
 This will result in a small @/boot@ and a large @/@ partition as well as a swap partition. Of course, you're free to partition your hard drive however you like it.

|_. type                  |_. logical volume name |_. mount point |_. size |
100
|_. small database server | lv_swap             | swap        |   512|
101
|_.                       | lv_home             | \home       |  1024|
102
|_.                       | lv_var_log          | \var\log    |  1024|
103
|_.                       | lv_var              | \var        |  8192|
104
|_.                       | lv_root             | \           |  8192|

h3. Create Additional User
127
