I do have a ThinkPad T470S with 19,4 GB of memory and 170GB HD space available. I need to solve two issues
- Using first Centos-7-livecd-GNOME-x86_64.iso and later Centos-7-livecd-GNOME-x86_64.iso I created the USB. In both cases I get an error message after startup that the system Can't root filesystem. I attach also a screenshot
- Like to get expert advice whether the partition I wanted to create is correct.
/ 8 GB, Device Device Type: Standard, File System: ext4
/swap, 20 GB, Device Type: swap, File System: swap
/home, remaining GB, Device Type: Standard, File System: ext4.
Thank you for helping me out.
Wolfgang

Wolfgang: Just a trivia question: WHY did you use a "livecd"? Why didn't you use the
CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1810.iso (aka the
DVD.iso)??
As I understand it -- and I could be WRONG -- the livecd was never intened to be used as an install medium -- that is not to say that you can't, but rather the livecd was never intended to be used as such. The medium for which you do installs from is the DVD.iso. That may or may not be the source of your problems.

I certainly can use the file you suggest.
I had used in the past live cd. You can test Centos first. there is an icon on the desktop that say install from there. That was the reason.
Thanks for the tip. I wil l try.
What do you think about the partition structure?

Well, I think that I celebrated victory too early.
After two days of working fine, my laptop started booting only into Windows directly.
As I Centos would have disappeared. The Window @ bootup that appears to chose to boot into Windows or Centos is gon.e
Did this happen to somebody else? What was the reason?
Regards, Wolfgang

Yes. Sometimes a MS-Windows update thinks it would be a good idea to change the UEFI boot load order to its favour. (BTW: Yes, MS loves Linux, but it does not like to find it installed on your computer
)
For a solution take a look at
https://wiki.debianforum.de/UEFI#Nach_e ... MS-Windows
The (U)EFI path for the CentOS boot loader is \EFI\centos\grubx64.efi
(I'm sorry for the German link but it seems that you are a German speaking person and I'm too lazy to search for an English equivalent.)
