Hi all, I'm installing Centos 5.0 (fresh install) x86_64 via NFS. I've downloaded just the DVD iso via bittorrent, but when it starts the graphical installation phase an error message appears telling me that anaconda can't find the CD iso in the remote server. Seems that's looking for Centos-5.0-x86_64-bin-1of7.iso, I'm downloading it right now to go ahead but... I think I'm doing something wrong or there is some problems in the NFS DVD install... Anyway, thanks for the great work folks! Let me know if you need more informations, bye!

I think it's mentioned in the release notes. -- Pasi

Boot from it and type 'linux askmethod'. Then you can select 'NFS image' as the method. Akemi
