#Installing CentOS on Intel Compute Stick STCK1A32WFC
## BIOS upgrade
1. Download BIOS update from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/86612/Intel-Compute-Stick-STCK1A32WFC

2. Boot the device, holding down the F7 key.

## Settings in BIOS
1. Reboot and press F2
2. Disable Bluetooth
3. Set operating system to Ubuntu
## Install CentOS
1. Download CentOS from www.centos.com. Use the "DVD" distribution.
2. Convert to img file
```
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o target.img CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1708.iso
```
3. Write to USB:
```
diskutil list
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3
time sudo dd if=target.img.dmg of=/dev/disk3 bs=1m
```
4. Reboot and press F10
5. Choose language English -> English (United States)
6. Click "Date & Time". Set Europe/Stockholm.
7. Click "Software selection". Choose "Server with GUI" -> Development Tools, KDE
8. Click "Keyboard". Add "Swedish" and remote English.
9. Click "Installation destination". Click Done and on the error message choose to reclaim all space.

11. Click done
12. Click to choose a root password
13. Create the user "john" and set as administrator
14. Wait for the installation.
15. Enjoy your network-less CentOS... :-(
The network card seems to be a Realtek RTL8723BS but i can't get the driver at https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs to install.
