1.0 Introduction
This document is for the installation of CentOS 6.6 using the GUI for the SVI range of products.
Please ensure that you download the 32bit CentOS 6.6 minimal ISO from our FTP server.
If you are unsure of your username and password please contact support@squire-technologies.com
Note: During the installation do not use yum to update the system. Our SVI install process
updates the necessary files. Failing to download the ISO from our FTP server or using yum
will likely cause delays and issues later in the installation process and may require a
reinstallation of the OS.
