Setting up your CentOS 6.4 to your VirtualBox
So I wanted to take note of my setup in CentOS version 6.4 from the minimal installation, i.e. no X11 and other useful utilities like make, kernel-devel, ... to a desired Desktop use with X11 and those utilities. I downloaded the VM setup here thru, http://virtualboxes.org/images/centos/ then I downloaded CentOS 6.0 base x86_64 or you can go directly thru here http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualboximage/?source=dlp Now, this is very minimal setup or installation, so we need to install the other packages. By default, the username/password is "root/reverse". First I update the yum, yum update yum -y install gcc make kernel-devel kernel-headers wget Then I also install rpmforgge to install DKMS to simplify the upgrades. This is noted from this link, http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Virtualization/VirtualBox/CentOSguest . yum --enablerepo rpmforge install dkms rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/...
