Want to install CentOS 5.5 by burning the image on DVD. On the link:http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/, there is a list given. CentOS-5.5-x86 64-bin-DVD.torrent is in the list. So is the download of the .iso possible only through torrent? There is CentOS-5.5-x86 64-netinstall.iso Is this also an .iso which one can download to install CentOS5.5?

The netinstall is a minimal ISO which will grab packages from a package repository over the Internet.

I've used it before and with a good network connection and it's faster than downloading the DVD if you know what packages you want and don't want a system with everything on it.
