All right, let me demonstrate another installation of CentOS Stream 10, but slightly different this time because
this time I want to tell you a bit about the advanced options that are offered.
So for the the beginning, nothing has really changed.
Okay, so I'm continuing with the language settings like we did before, and then I'm going to
select some options that we didn't see before, like the root user account. By default the root
user account is disabled. Well, I'm going to enable it and set a password for it.
We'll talk later about whether or not you want to do that, but here we can see how to do it.
Even if you do have a root user account, you should always have a regular non root user account
as well to do your day to day stuff. Also make sure that this user is set as administrator.
Then the automatic partitioning.
That's a convenient option. I don't want to talk about partitions now, so let's
select this option. But let's also have a look at the software selection.
In the software selection you can see that you can select between different patterns.
The server with gui, which is probably providing a graphical user interface.
I definitely do recommend that you use a graphical user interface for following
along in this class, but if you want to install with minimal hardware
requirements, for instance, then you might as well use minimal installation.
And apart from the default server with gui, there's a list of additional packages that you can use as well.
I know for instance, that I'm going to use virtualization, so I'm going to
install my virtualization tools and that makes sure that virtualization is running more smoothly.
After selecting what I want to install, I'm clicking Done and then we can have a look at the networking part as well.
So I'm calling it send to.example.com and that
will be the name of my host.
Now, by default you would get an IP address from a DHCP server.
In case you want to select hard coded IP settings, you click configure and there
you select IPv4 and you can add static IP addresses if you want to.
So 192.168.29.11 for instance, with the netmask24 and the gateway 192.168.29.2.
Of course, this only makes sense if you know which network settings to use.
Similar for the D DNS server.
Once you've done all of that, you click Save and then you have configured this additional configuration as well.
Then click Done.
And I think for now we have seen the most interesting options. So if you want to install using this
selection, click Begin Installation and wait until you see a reboot system to boot into your freshly installed system.
No need to wait for this to complete. This is it.
Talking about waiting to complete now look at that.
