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?

Also, when comparing MAJOR versions of CentOS (that is 5.x to 6.x) please remember that there is a fairly major time difference between these releases when compared to other non-enterprise Linux versions. Doing 5.x to 6.x is like comparing Fedora 6 to Fedora 12. That is a fairly big jump in technology.
