Want to install CentOS 5.5 by burning the image on DVD. On the link: http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/, there is a list given. CentOS-5.5-x86 64-bin-DVD.torrent is in the list. So is the download of the .iso possible only through torrent? There is CentOS-5.5-x86 64-netinstall.iso Is this also an .iso which one can download to install CentOS5.5? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've used it before and with a good network connection and it's faster than downloading the DVD if you know what packages you want and don't want a system with everything on it.

However, a connection is mandatory then, in contrast to an installation from DVD. But keep in mind to update the system ASAP using 'yum update', for which an internet connection is of course needed, too.

For burning the image on DVD I found 2 iso files: CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso I found out that the first one is 4.1GB and the second one is 412MB. Do I have to burn the first one on 1 DVD and the second one on another DVD? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So it depends on what you want to do during install time. Ralph

But, yes, if you want both, burn them to separate DVDs. ////jerry> _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
