- get ISO of the latest version of CentOS 5 from the CentOS website, centos.org. You will only need the first disc or the net install disc. (eg. CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-1of7.iso)
- following normal installation but deselect all pkg (refer to screenshot)
- after reboot. add EPEL repo (EPEL - FedoraProject), such that iceWM is available.
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm - install additional pkg (yum install):
- xorg-x11-twm
- xorg-x11-xfs

- xorg-x11-server-Xorg
- xorg-x11-drv-vmware
