From the 6.0 Release Notes here:
"The i386 DVD is just a bit too large to fit on normal single layer DVD+R media. It can be burnt successfully on DVD-R or dual-layer media."
Thanks, Jorge. That's what I suspected. Yeah, I have the DVD+R/W.
It would be nice if the download page mentioned that. Save people some time and effort.
Where / which page would you have expected to see this ?

Karanbir,
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15 would be one place. But, given the way search engines might index pages, people could bypass that page and land directly on the mirrors page, http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13, and so miss the warning altogether.
For this reason, and because it's the only sure-fire way to get the warning to those who would need it, it would be best if the directory name and/or the ISO names themselves contained the warning, e.g., CentOS-6_0-PAE-required-*-.iso.
In addition, if it happens, per your other email in this thread, that it's possible to offer another CentOS distribution which doesn't require PAE, then we'd need a distinguishing name for those ISOs.
