CentOS - Mar 2008 - Centos 5.1

I'm about to try Centos 5 (first time user).

Question:  I have the 5.0 CD-ROMs, so can I install with them and them
update to 5.1 via the internet, or should I use the 5.1 CDs?

Thanks.

You can do both, install 5.0 with the CDROM and do a online update to
5.1. Or download the 5.1 cd's and use those.

If you already have the 5.0 cdroms then it is probably best to do a
minimal install with 5.0 then upgrade to 5.1 and then use yum to
install the actual stuff you need.

Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the
"microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.
