CentOS6.4各版本说明



下载CentOS6.4的时候，有很多可选则的版本，对于初学者来说，不知道选择哪个好，下面做一下简单介绍：

CentOS6.4网易下载地址：http://mirrors.163.com/centos/6.4/isos/

CentOS-6.4-x86_64-netinstall.iso 网络安装镜像

CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso 最小化安装，只安装必须的软件，类似于精简版（装完后，只有命令行操作，没有桌面图形界面）

CentOS-6.4-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 完整版的安装盘

CentOS-6.4-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 对完整版安装盘的软件进行补充和升级。

（1）CentOS-xxxx-LiveCD.ios 和CentOS-xxxx-bin-DVD1.iso有什么区别？前者只有700M，后者有3.8G。其差别不仅仅在大小上，其更本质的差别是，CentOS-xxxx-LiveCD.ios只能加载到内存里运行，不能安装。CentOS-xxx-bin-DVD1.iso才可以安装到硬盘上。

（2）CentOS-xxx-bin-DVD1.iso，CentOS-xxx-bin-DVD2.iso分别是干什么的？前者是3.8G，后者是500M。其差别是DVD1是CentOS的安装文件，DVD2是CentOS的一些软件（就简单实用CentOS来说是不需要的）。

各版本的英文说明：

What images are in this directory

CentOS-6.4-x86_64-netinstall.iso 网络安装镜像

This is the network install and rescue image.

This image is designed to be burned onto a CD. You then boot your computer off the CD.

CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso 最小化安装，只安装必须的软件，类似于精简版（装完后，只有命令行操作，没有桌面图形界面）

The aim of this image is to install a very basic CentOS 6.4 system, with the minimum of packages needed to have a functional system.

Please burn this image onto a CD and boot your computer off it. A preselected set of packages will be installed on your system. Everything else needs to be installed using yum.

Please read http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.4 for more details about this image.

The set of packages installed by this image is identical to the one installed when choosing the group named "Minimal" from the full DVD image.

CentOS-6.4-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso 完整版的安装盘

CentOS-6.4-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso 对完整版安装盘的软件进行补充和升级

These two dvd images contain the entire base distribution.

Please burn DVD1 onto a DVD and boot your computer off it.

A basic install will not need DVD2.

After the installation is complete, please run "yum update" in order to update your system.

Remember that in order to be able to partition your disk you will need to run the GUI installer which in turns needs enough RAM. The same is true for the network setup step. The release notes ( http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.4 ) provide
more details about these aspects.
