I have the 6 CDs for CentOS 5, and I have installed it on a couple of computers without any problem.
I just tried to create a virtual machine under VMware 5.5.4, it goes through the 1st CD without problem, and crashes on the 2nd CD for Xorg. Any suggestion?
Download the DVD, since there's no value in swapping disks with a VM. You can ask VMware to treat the raw ISO image as a real DVD-ROM drive, so you don't have to have any kind of optical drive in the VM host server machine.
You can also put the cd iso images under an NFS-exported directory, boot the first one (virtually if you want) with 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt and fill in the NFS server info as you would with a physical machine. But, the dvd is easier.
