1. Go here using Safari http://mirror.flhsi.com/centos/6.2/isos/x86_64/ and click CentOS-6.2-x86 64-netinstall.iso to download the netinstall file
2. After netinstall file has finished downloading, open Parallels
3. In the "Install from:" dropdown menu, choose the "CentOS-6.2-x86 64-netinstall.iso" file on your local machine (wherever you chose to save it in step 1)
4. Automatic detection fails so you have to select the operating system name from the drop down menu that automatically pops up. Choose "More Linux" and then "CentOS Linux" and click "OK"
5. Click "OK". Now you will see the CentOS logo on screen.
6. At bottom left of the Parallels window, click the dropdown and choose "Start". You'll now see some options on-screen. I choose the second option by using the arrow keys on the keyboard. You'll see a bunch of text scrolling on-screen once install begins.
7. After text stops scrolling, you'll see a Welcome screen. Click in the Parallels window, press the right arrow key on your keyboard to highlight the "Skip" option on-screen and press Enter on your keyboard.
8. Choose your language and press Enter. Choose the type of keyboard you have and press Enter.
9. On the "Installation Method" screen press the down arrow key on your keyboard to select the "URL" option and press Enter.
10. On the "Configure TCP/IP" menu screen, press the down arrow key on your keyboard to highlight the "OK" button and press Enter to choose default settings.
11. On the "URL Setup" screen, type: http://be.mirror.eurid.eu/centos/6.2/os/x86_64
*note - depending on your location in the world, you may want to choose a different mirror to download from to increase download speed. see the list of mirrors here: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30
12. After the .img completes downloading, CentOS will ask for your input regarding various system options. Choose as you please.
Done.
