1)- How to setup manual IP and access web server test page ? (previously i was able to access test page only using DHCP assigned IP)

2)- In this tutorial video, at the beginning this guy install software using 'cd rom'. => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1vBb5fl5Xc

There's an /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo file that can be used to install from local media. Just mount it on one of the directories mentioned in that file (or add your own) and then yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c7-media install $thing
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

The regular DVD (4.5GB) will do the trick.
