Re: [CentOS] 5.5 ISO size vs RHEL

Hi

We use CentOS and RHEL, the 5.5 RHEL ISO for x86_64 is 3.7GB (**), the CentOS one is 4602MB (***) split over two DVDs. Is this reasonable and correct?

would have been nice if the split would have been below 32 bit MS tool limits.

Any ideas why would there be such a discrepancy if they are built from the same (or very similar) source?

Regards Anthony Caetano

** the md5sum checks out, and RHN lists the size as 3,532 MB

*** CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso + CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso (according to ftp.heanet.ie:/pub/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64 )

perhaps the following will help in understanding. https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25548&viewmo...
