Hi.
I was wanting to set up a centos 6 virtual machine using the netinst iso image. I've done this for Centos 5 before but I was surprised to see that the size of the netinst iso had gone from +/- 10Mb to 227Mb. I was therefore wondering if I had the right file? If so, why did it get 22x bigger then the previous version?
The difference ist that the second installer stage has been included in the iso. As a result you only need this iso to boot into rescue mode. With the old Centos 5 iso you could boot it but in order to do anything you had to first have to connect to a mirror to get the second installer stage.
