Hi, folks.

I have download the DVD image of CentOS 5.2. Comparing with the DVD image of Upstream OS Provider, I got a surprise:

The size of the DVD image of Upstream OS Provider is just 2.87 GB(i386), but the size of the DVD image of CentOS 5.2(i386) is so large that is 3.74 GB!

as Tim already wrote, CentOS 5.2 is not released yet, so don't use it.

Also please note there are two DVDs on RHN: the server version with 2,934 MB and the client version with 3,682 MB

CentOS distributes only one DVD which contains everything bundled into one DVD.

Kind Regards, Dirk
