Andr?,

I'm sure it would, but I thought I made it clear that DL or BluRay have
never been options in this case. I'm disappointed that the DVD iso was
released without any release notes advising it was oversized

I finally burned and used a network installation CD and NFS connected
to a local mirror of the CentOS 7.9.2011 repository. That option will
not be available to me in the future. I have the server in my physical
possession for a very short while. After I finish installation and
configuration, I will only have remote access.
