Virtualbox Centos Mac



Blog: Quick demo on installing Centos 7 on Mac using Oracle Virtual Box manager. If I connected my host OS (Mac OS X 10.7.2) to a Wi-Fi network, I cannot bridge the VM's network connection to that interface. The VirtualBox VM settings allow me to choose bridging over that interface, but I'm unable to obtain a DHCP lease or do anything else on that interface. Bridging to the Ethernet interface works fine, and the Wi-Fi connection works fine in the host OS. VirtualBox (on Mac host), version 5.1.10 r112026 (Qt5.6.2). Host version Mac OS Sierra 10.12.1 All host patches up to date CentOS 7 guest, version 7.2.1511 Guest additions installed and up to date, all guest OS patches up to date. I have VirtualBox instance of Centos 5. The screen size is quite small (800.600) and I'd like to increase it to 1280.1080. Under the Gnome preferences for 'Screen Resolution' I only get the option for 600.800. When you make a new virtual machine (i.e. A guest OS) with VirtualBox it will, by default, make the NIC an Am79C973. Whilst this NIC may be supported by many OSes, this particular NIC does not seem to be supported by CentOS 7. This means that the only NIC which will show up inside your new CentOS 7 VM will be the loopback NIC.

Okay so I've decided to use CentOS as my first ever linux installation. I have a mac mini and would like to install CentOS on a partition and dual boot. I downloaded both DVD1 and DVD2 however, I saw that dvd2 is not need for the installation?
What is DVD2 used for then?
Also can I put CentOS in a bootable usb? I see that there is a wiki for this but it doesn't show how to do it on Mac Mountain Lion...maybe I'm blind and I opologize.
can I use this method:

1.Download the desired file
2.Open the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/ or query Terminal in Spotlight)
3.Convert the .iso file to .img using the convert option of hdiutil:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/target.img /path/to/source.iso)
4.Note: OS X tends to put the .dmg ending on the output file automatically.
Rename the file by typing:
mv /path/to/target.img.dmg /path/to/target.img
5.Run diskutil list to get the current list of devices
6.Insert your flash media
7.Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2)
8.Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN (replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2)
9.Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m (replace /path/to/downloaded.img with the path where the image file is located; for example, ./ubuntu.img or ./ubuntu.dmg).Mac
10.Using /dev/rdisk instead of /dev/disk may be faster.
-If you see the error dd: Invalid number '1m', you are using GNU dd. Use the same command but replace bs=1m with bs=1M.
-If you see the error dd: /dev/diskN: Resource busy, make sure the disk is not in use. Start the ‘Disk Utility.app’ and unmount (don’t eject) the drive.
11.Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your flash media when the command completes
12.Now the USB stick is ready. Boot the device that you want from the USB stick. [/quote]CentOSUmair

CentOS

The CentOS Linux distribution is a stable, predictable, manageable and reproduceable platform derived from the sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). CentOS (abbreviated from Community Enterprise Operating System) is a Linux distribution that attempts to provide a free, enterprise-class, community-supported computing platform which aims to be 100% binary compatible with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). CentOS is for people who need an enterprise class operating system stability without the cost of certification and support. In January 2014, it was announced that CentOS was officially joining forces with Red Hat while staying independent from RHEL, under a new CentOS Governing Board.
