Installing from the CDs is not really possible ... you must install from
a repository ... which is cd-1, 2, 3, 4 all copied into one directory.

Or just use yum to install from an online repository.

The reason for this is that the yum included in CentOS-4 does not know
how to SPAN CDs (and ask for cd-2, etc.)

You can install directly from the DVD or from a repo on your hard drive
that has all the files from all the CDs copied to it.

Yes.  See the comments in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo ...

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo
# CentOS-Media.repo
#
# This repo is used to mount the default locations for a CDROM / DVD on
#  CentOS-4.  You can use this repo and yum to install items directly
off the
#  DVD ISO that we release.
#
# To use this repo, put in your DVD and use it with the other repos too:
#  yum --enablerepo=c4-media [command]
#
# or for ONLY the media repo, do this:
#
#  yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c4-media [command]

[c4-media]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Media
baseurl=file:///media/cdrom/
        file:///media/cdrecorder/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///usr/share/doc/centos-release-4/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4

For example (on my i386 Workstation system, not server CD, but hopefully
relevant) with the DVD mounted at /media/cdrom:

# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=c4-media grouplist
