my church just got some ibm x335's donated. Cent 5 is only relaly dvd's. I do have a windows server using IIS for internal stuff. How would i setup a local repo for the dvd so i can point the net install iso to the windows box?

run a http server anywhere handy and copy CentOS/5/os/i386/ (or x86_64) from one of the mirrors to a web directory...

then boot the netinstall off a USB stick and do the network install with the URL, like ....

http://192.168.2.10/CentOS/5/os/i386/

you can use nfs or ftp instead of http

with a little more work, you can setup a PXE boot server, this requires a few more steps and is left as an exercise to the reader.
