Hi all,
I am installing CentOS 5.1 to a machine at my friend's office. I had to download 7 ISOs beforehand but it needs only 5 CDs for complete installation (depending on what packages I want to install). I might have downloaded the DVD iso but since I don't have DVD-RW drive, I chose to download the CD ISOs.
The machine is HP Proliant 350 G5 with Intel Xeon processor and it is a 64-bit machine (as all modern Xeon processors are). The machine has been installed Fedora Core 5 before and it had many problems as FC5 is designed for desktop and not server. This should be expected. The machine will be used for database, dhcp and DNS server.

If doing a server install you can use just the first iso on all versions of centos. Just at the end your asked to choose custom options. Disable everything except Base and your good to go. If using text install just disable everything. On the graphical install if you screw up and hit next to continue the install before you deselect everything you have to backout to the beginning or it will still ask for multiple cds.
I see. Thanks Trahloc for the tip.
