CentOS 5.7 Install Instructions (Hyper-V) For FOG

CentOS 5.7 Install Instructions (Hyper-V)

1. Download the ISO of CentOS 5.7 to your Hyper-V server.
2. Create a virtual server. *Remember, this VM is going to have all your computer images on them so plan hard drive size accordingly. I suggest at least 250GB or more.
3. Before you boot the server, go into the VM settings. Remove the existing Network Adapter and add a Legacy Network Adapter. Adjust other VM settings as needed and then click OK.
4. Boot the VM.
5. Press Enter on the keyboard to install CentOS in a Graphical Interface.
6. Skip the CD/DVD media test.
   
7. Click Next or Alt + N if you are using a keyboard.
