Or all of the ISO's?If you have network access and a supported NIC, the netinstall.iso will work. I'd want local access to a repository though. Otherwise your install is going to be rather slow. I've read that you can't install from the livecd, never tried it myself. also http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS5 refers to being able to do a minimal install with only the 1st cd.

Something that isn't in the wikis or other CentOS documentation? I don't understand the question - too general. Please provide specifics. mhr

This will give you a relatively "minimal" system. If you want to install anything after that, just do a "yum install". -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
