CentOS

Yes, I am well aware of this prejudice. Going through HR would be like running into a brick wall. In my case, finding a job would have to be done in some other way. It's often through the people whom we know, that things happen. I know that there are many like me out there, in a similar situation.

Thanks for this Trevor.
I ran the sha256sum on the .iso and they are identical.

Glad there's still room on this earth for old people. I am new to Linux in General and CentOS is my latest addition. But I started out with the Sinclair ZX81 and later the Commodore 64.

I didn't even think that a computer with an SD card bay, will not be able to use it to boot.

I have never booted from an SD card before. When I hit F2 after restart to enter the BIOS, I go to “boot sequence” and there I see the following: Does that mean that I cannot boot from an SD card?

Hi, I’m in the process of making a bootable SD card of CentOS 7. The SD card is 32 GB in size. I formated the SD card using (in LinuxMint 18.2 CLI): sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0 and then: sudo dd if=CentOS-7-i386-Everything-1810.iso of=/dev/mmcblk0 Long time after that (I just went to sleep, so I don...
