Here is the link on GT mirror site for CentOS 5.6 http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/5.6/os/x86_64/images/, what do I need to pull down from among those files to make a successful install? In what order?
Wrong directory tree, you want this:
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/
Although they don't appear to have the DVD image there. There is a torrent image there:
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent
I'm pretty sure I downloaded the DVD directly from GA Tech a while back. Not sure why they don't have a DVD to download.
