WAS : PLUG Meeting.... NOW : Install Using USB Keyboard

Thu May 9 11:38:31 MST 2013

Thanks Keith,

I first installed CentOS years ago. I think it was just after the Canadian
company bought it from some US company. At that time I got (bought I think)
an install CD. I was new to Linux and had failed at several other
distributions. CentOS just installed. Is there an install CD (CentOS 6 or
6.4) available today?

TIA

George
