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.
