Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Centos is the only OS I can't seem to install in my VMware Workstation 10.
I have Win 2008, 12, Ubuntu 14, Red Hat and now I'm having issues with Centos. First time ever having problems. I haven't went to bed yet. I can't figure the Unknown errors I get out. Originally I tried to install it on the same drive I had with the others. Then I moved it to C:. I tried both DVD and Everything ISOs. Everything ISO goes as far as allowing me to input a root password and then tells me that an Unknown error has occured. DVD ISO won't even load up. I tried mapping a drive to read from. WTFreak!!!! -
I only use VirtuaBox as a type 2 hypervisor so not sure what might be wrong.

WTFreak!!!!I'm sure you already found this but here are install documents - http://partnerweb.vmware.com/GOSIG/CentOS_7.html
Looks fairly straight forward, could you get a screenshot of the error?

Here is my Centos headache:
There you go Ladies and Gents. Have at her!

I burned the ISO to a disc and I still got the some results. I'm at lost with this. Watch it be something so simple. I'mma throw this computer out the window. lol!

Did you CRC/MD5 check the ISO? You have a bad ISO most likely.

Jared I think you may be right. I just d/l another DVD ISO and I got as far as inputting the password. Now it's showing that it's installing the packages. I didn't do any CRC/MD5 check. I spent all that time last night for nothing. Something simple. SON OF A MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Jared. I feel much better now. Maybe I should go get some sleep now. lol!
Stand by for the final conclusion.
Spoke too soon! It got all the way to completion then this popped up:
Just another soggy wet dream!!!!

Hey Jared! After reading your post about the check, I dug deeper into Centos site and came across a post that stated that it's better to pull from torrents as oppose from the site. With that said, I did. I noticed that it came with MD5 check. I give it a shot and here are the results:
Thank you so much for shining a lite on the matter from that perspective. I was up all night. Now I Officially feel better. Now it's time to learn. I have to make up for lost time. Thank you all for being there for me. It feels really good to have a great team of men and women like you all.
Well....until the next question.Oh wait! I wanted to ask....jk! lol!

What is your first CentOS project?

I was wondering the same thing. One of the best ways to learn CentOS (or any Linux distro) is to set yourself some goals to go about it. May I suggest setting up your own wordpress server. This gets some of the basics out of the way for things like editing config files and installing packages.

I may pick your brains on that coliver at some point. Thank you for the suggestion.

Some great project ideas on Linux include:
- Jump Server
- Web Server (WordPress or otherwise)
- Storage Server (NFS for UNIX machines, SMB via Samba for Windows)
- Media Server (share out those home movies and music)
- PBX (like FreePBX or Elastix) to use as your home phone system
- Logging Server (ELK or similar, a bit more advanced)
- Stand alone database server (used by other projects, most likely)
- Wiki for home documentation (likely sharing the web server box)
- Directory server (instead of AD to manage your desktops)
