Download the netinstall & choose your window manager. Save you a lot of time.
My advice is different: download the regular DVD (not the live DVD) and use it to install. The first disk is sufficient.
The reason I have a different opinion is because netinstall is too minimal, especially if you're not familiar with CentOS, and installing with the live CD or DVD is too inflexible. Use the regular DVD instead.

You mean the bin DVD. Thing is with the DVD they are big for broadband download. I think i'd buy one. But i appreciate your advice.
One thing i did learn with linux when i first started is that it's essential to have a spare PC to test a distro on first - then one can use the main PC to email on if in trouble! I'll explore and test things out over the next few days. I had a good look at many distros 3 years ago and the only one's i liked were *buntu family and Centos.
