The server's optical drive doesn't support double-layer disks. The CentOS developers made a mistake on their DVD iso, and they need to fix it. --Doc

Why don't you try either CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-2009.iso or CentOS-7-x86_64-NetInstall-2009.iso? Both options should work for you. Regards, Simon

You are going to have to something different. Is it possible to do a network install on this machine. I believe the netboot ISO should be small enough to fit on a CD or DVD.> > --Doc > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > >-- Robert Heller -- Cell: 413-658-7953 GV: 978-633-5364 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller at deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services
