Just curious. In the two most recent releases of CentOS 7 AltArch i386 there has not been made available a DVD iso (or the live ones) alongside NetInstall/Minimal/Everything. Any plans to make available the DVD variation for the current or future releases?
For older 32-bit hardware, it can be nice to be able to burn a single layer DVD.
Currently all the Alternative arches get the same ISOs .. which are Everything, Minimal, NetInstall. (except of course for armhfp .. were the install is very different).
It takes a bunch of extra work / testing to develop the DVD install ISO. It requires a unique package list to only include items needed from the installer.
I would say that the best way to install CentOS is with the Minimal install and yum groups afterwards .. or a net install.
<snip> Johnny, I'm very much against the minimal, given that it doesn't seem to set up networking... nor does it appear to install perl, based on some recent experience.
