hehe i wasnt vague, you just cant read my mind. i said "everything i might ever need" from the CD
Well .. that is not what the Single Server CD is for. The Single Server CD is only ~650MB ... the full CentOS install is 2.2GB.
The Single server CD obviously is NOT the entire CentOS tree on a single CD ... it is a subset of programs that we could get on one CD and have it be a useful server. It can only hold about 25% of the packages that we release for CentOS ... so 75% of what is ultimately available in CentOS is not on the Single CD. Which is why we release CentOS on 4 CDs or a DVD.
well i was hoping to get ALL the devel stuff that would be installed should i have checked it on install from the CD in "one shot"
obviously only so much stuff is going to fit in one sock :)
A full CentOS set (4 CD's or 1 DVD) is required to install all packages directly from the CD / DVD.
