Hi, I have downloaded the following version: CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso from the mirror: http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/ What I want to ask is that 'Release2' is the complete OS and after installation we can use 'yum update'. So at first, is it enough (as I am not going to download the complete set of 7 CDs)? -- Regards, Parshwa Murdia Making the simple complicated is commonplace, making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's innovation.. -C Mingus
Why don't you download the DVD, it give you much more than disc 1.>>> Parshwa Murdia 01/19/11 1:41 PM >>>Hi, I have downloaded the following version: CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso from the mirror: http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/ What I want to ask is that 'Release2' is the complete OS and after installation we can use 'yum update'.

You will need at least CD1 for a minimum instal or do a netinstall (there is a netinstall.iso). You could also get the DVD: http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.torrent -- Nux! www.nux.ro

It is purely for demo or diagnostic purposes. use the network installer iso if you want a single CD install. otherwise, you need most of the 7 CDs to install a typical selection of packages, or the DVD.

This looks to me like the Fedora LiveCD install method; basically, it copies the LiveCD to the HD and sets things up as if it were installed via kickstart and with the regular installer. I do remember doing a couple of Fedora installs this way; they are fast, that's for sure. There is also a 'Network install' option (see http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD5.5 ) on the 5.5 LiveCD that works the same as the netinstall ISO. Perhaps that's the Install icon that's being seen here.
