**Step 8: **

First adjust the memory size. Generally speaking, the minimum memory size cannot be less than 628 m, and the maximum size cannot exceed half of the real physical machine memory. We can choose 1024M memory size by default.**

Secondly, we can adjust the processor and the size of the hard disk, but here we all choose the default. Just jump to the CD/DVD (IDE) option, select the CentOS image file we downloaded, and click OK

Note: The CentOS 6.8 we downloaded here has two ISO files. We choose the first one. The first one contains the main information of the CentOS system, while the second ISO file is just some uncommon software information.

Step 9: Go to the main VMware interface, select the Node2 virtual machine we installed, and click to start this virtual machine

Step 21: Partition the hard disk, as shown in the interface, we click Create

Linux system partition:

Must be partitioned:

Recommended partition:

③, boot partition boot (save the data when the system starts, generally not too big, 200 M is enough to prevent the system from failing to start after the root partition is filled with files)

④, home partition, save user information

Select the standard partition and click Create

Step 1: Create a boot partition with a size of 200 m

Step 2: Give the swap partition, the size is 2000 M

The third step: partition home, the size is 5000 M
