my ways but my DVD is not getting recognised while booting. I have windows XP
SP2 32-bit. Let me know the files that need to be burned for installing centOS
5.1 i386.
&nbsp;
Queries :
1. Whether I need to burn the files in CD or DVD?
2. I have download&nbsp;9 iso files, 3 torrent files and 4 txt files from
http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/&nbsp;Please tell me which
files I need to burn?
3. If I need to burn more than 1 iso file, how do I do that?
4. How do I install the centOS 5.1 i386 when the system starts reading the CD or
DVD? (The commands please)
I am going to work in Linux from now on. This is very urgent. Please help me to
learn Linux and discover new stuffs. Help is required urgently. Please help me.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Thanks &amp; Regards,
Rajeev

If it has a DVD drive use [and burn it onto a DVD] - 
CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-DVD.iso 
<http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-DVD.iso>
If it had a CD drive use [and burn it onto CD - well, a total of 6] - 
CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-1of6.iso 
<http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-1of6.iso>
[and the rest, up to 6of6]

Probably check out something like this... 
http://www.howtoforge.com/installation-guide-centos5.1-desktop

When you said your going to work in Linux, I just guesses that this 
would be a desktop system.

Google is your friend, and also check things like the CentOS wiki 
http://wiki.centos.org/

Subjects are great things too ;-)

Thats CD 1 through 6.  CD 1 is bootable.   You can use this set of 6
CDs to install, only the first one is absolutely required if you select
a 'minimum' install, otherwise the rest will be needed for various
packages.  <br>

this is the whole thing on one bootable DVD.     you can use this to
install the whole thing or any subset.<br>
<br>
the .torrent files are for downloading via teh bittorrent protocol, by
themselves they are of no use.  the md5 and sha1 sum files can be used
for verifying the other files via the appropriate checksum utility.  
The LiveCD is a standalone bootable 'Live' boot that lets you try out
CentOS without actually installing it on your hard disk.<br>

So what's the urgency?

Sounds like your system hasn't ever been up so it isn't down.

The archives for all the major distributions (RedHat, Fedora. CentOS, Ubuntu) 
have addressed your questions many times.  Not to mention that these 
distributions wikis and FAQs have address these issues as well

Your issues appear to be.

1) What images to download
2) How to burn these images to that they are bootable from windows
3) How to set the CMOS boot order so it boots from the CD or DVD media (once 
it's properly burned)

This is not an URGENT HELP issue this is a "I didn't research a thing
and want
to be led by the hand" issue.

[CentOS] Urgent Help Required!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, others have by now addressed your issue, so I'll now have my say.

Please in future, use a better title than the one you have chosen - it
will help others who are searching for a solution to problems similar to
what you were having.

You are lucky this mailing list is so laidback and forgiving as to
tolerate such a silly title.
I know other mailing lists and forums where you would be warned by the
maintainers/admins and even banned for doing it more than once.
