Thanks for all of your comments, really I was looking for an easy way of install Centos downloading one only CD....
That's a totally different question. You must be a ubuntu user...
XD No, no, I'm not a Ubuntu user ;) in fact, I prefer Mandriva, or even Fedora, if you are talking about desktop systems... I am pretty sick of the Ubuntu hype...
It happens that in my job I suggested to change from Fedora to Centos (installed on servers) and my boss liked the idea of having a free Red Hat Enterprise clon. But, I had some problems with mirrors using netinstall method, so I was not looking an dummy installation, I repeat I was looking for one CD install. It's different when you can get a minimal system installed (for example Mandriva has a mini CD, with a bare way of installation adn then you can download what you can install what you want, and please, don't say me now: "So use Mandriva", I am interested of using Centos on servers). We have one of the main servers running Centos 5.1 and we will move others from Fedora to Centos... using Xen too :)
There are several way of doing this. My favorite is to put the initrd and vmlinuz files onto an existing bootable usb (RIP Linux). Specify a kickstart file or specify method=ask on the kernel options.
When I'm working on a machine where the BIOS doesn't support USB boot, I use CD #1, specify kickstart/method on the command line.
I sounds interesting...thanks
