In the attachment(snapshot of oracle vm virtual box) there is an error in checking software selection. The rest of the fields have no problem in them. I have tried changing the intallation source but it does not work.

Thanks for the extra info;

Just to confirm I'm understanding you correctly; you are trying to install CentOS into a Virtual Machine?

If I'm correct;

I think a better solution would be to install it from a "local" source (eg. DVD/USB) and then try updating CentOS. Make sure you have the right networking options enabled for the Virtual Machine software, that your are using.
