Hello Group, I am trying to build one VMware VM for 5.7 centos. However, there are two DVDs. And all vms I have build so far are confined in one iso. How could I build complete 5.7 centos VM with two different Centos DVDs. I am sure somebody out there must have built one such OS. Please guild. thanks. nagrik

Since you're building a VM, just try it out and see what happens. That is the point of using VMs -- it is very easy to try things out. ? Brian Mathis

When the installer asks for the next disk i "eject" the first from the VM and load the second. Michel

Works very well indeed.
