Install CentOS, Kloxo, WebMin from the command line

I’ve had this blog post sitting for too long and don’t have plans for finishing it, it still may help someone so I figured I’d release it.

CentOS isn’t installed from the command line but it’s an OS… the rest are installed from the command line using help I found online.

This install was done using CentOS 5.5 I386

Boot the CentOS cd and follow the prompts, they did a good job on what they are asking so just read carefully. The important thing is not to install anything kloxo will install what it needs.

Network section

  • Change your host name to something related to your domain and is easy to remember for your customers, server1.domain.com should work well.
  • Edit your IP address and click the radio button next to manual and enter your static IP address and netmask (subnet, commonly 255.255.255.0 for networks behind a firewall)

The rest is straight forward just uncheck everything and click next.
