CentOS 6.1 base install (like FreeBSD base install)?

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

Hello,
What is the simplest way to install CentOS 6.1 with console base-system only using official LiveDVD image on VirtualBox machine? I'd like to get simplest console with network support like FreeBSD base installation. Then, install services which I need.
The installer jest extracts the LiveCD image to hard drive. I cannot choose package options.

I'm looking for the best howto for this purpose. I'm new to Red Hat.

Hi.

I found the isos below at Index of /pub/centos/6.2/isos/x86_64

I currently use:

OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64, x86_64
Distribution        : CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

in a VM.

I don't recall that I have personally used these, but if I wanted to choose packages, I think I'd start with them, along with available documentation.

I don't know if other mirrors have these, but mirror links from here www.centos.org - centos.org content could be checked.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

When installing, enter TAB at the boot prompt and enter "text" at the end of the boot command. See RHEL6 Chapter*7.*Booting the Installer
