Install CentOS on Windows 8 Hyper-V

For some courses at KTSI we need a CentOS to test some Linux spesific things like Apache and other stuff. The good thing, Windows 8 got Hyper-V and Hyper-V supports CentOS.

With Version 3.2 oft the Linux Integration Services Microsoft fixed also a bug which occurred in Windows 8.

1. First download CentOS
2. Download the Linux Integration Services Version 3.2 for Hyper-V
3. Start Hyper-V Manager and create a new Virtual Machine
4. Install CentOS 6.x
   
5. Reboot the virtual machine
6. Login as root
   
7. Mount the Linux Integration Services ISO from step 2
8. Now run the following commands in the virtual machine

   sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media
   sudo /media/install.sh
   

   

9. After you the Installation is completed you have to reboot the virtual machine again
   
10. done
