Thanks for all the replies, the links to the DVD images were exactly what I was missing. I downloaded the images this morning and burned them to disc and the install is progressing. The basic problem was my own ignorance/inexperience with CentOS and assuming that the GT mirror site would be the best place to get what I needed. I probably could have found the stuff by digging on the CentOS site, but I knew I had a great support network with ALE and many of you came through for me.<div>

</div>That depends on the mirror. I know that I downloaded both Centos 5.6<br>
and 6.0 dvds directly. The 6.0 dvds are available at GA Tech here:<br>
