How does one put centos on a laptop?
My understanding that laptops no longer come with optical drives.
Booting from an install disk would be difficult.
From https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops :
Preparation tasks
Repartition your harddisk
Backup your Master Boot Record (MBR)
Modifying your bootloader
My understanding is that most laptops have at most one harddisk.
Can it really be unmounted for partitioning?
Not true. Last year I got an HP Envy 17 (and it's still being sold) and
it has a DVD r+w. This can't be the only laptop being sold with an
optical drive.
Also, a couple months ago I put a "Live USB" (Fedora) Linux distro on a
USB stick, booted it, and it came up and worked fine.
