Today, I’m going to show you, installation of CentOS on a virtual machine
First of all, we’ve to download CentOS. CentOS is a freely-available operating system that is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. You can download the latest release (5) from its website. To download, please refer to download page of CentOS web site
http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/i386/
Select nearest location and begin downloading *.iso files.
After you finish downloading *.iso files, you have to mount it and let your VMware recognize it as a virtual “cd” or “dvd”. For this purpose, I prefer to download one DVD *.iso installation file. Please open VMware, double click on CD-ROM (IDE 1-0) item, select Use ISO image option and click Browse button to select your recently downloaded *.iso installation file of CentOS as shown below
