In my case I selected Basic Server , actually CentOS and Red Hat's descriptionof software contained in each set is a little bit vague, here a couple of linksthat may help you to choose the best one for you: In the previous screen I also checked Customize now so I could add support for the Spanish language.
The installation of software packages start and it will takes fewminutes. When the installation is complete, you can remove your DVD from the computer and reboot it. You then boot your computer off the CD.
The aim of this image is to install a very basic CentOS 6. A preselected set of packages will be installed on your system. Everything else needs to be installed using yum. The set of packages installed by this image is identical to the one installed when choosing the group named 'Minimal' from the full DVD image.
