Yes, I know it is old, but I'm looking for a copy of CentOS 3.5 - CDs or DVD for i386.
I can only find 3.8.
Thanks for any leads.

Yes, but if you visit it, it comes up as 3.8. Thus, it appears all the 3.x directories/mirrors are populated with 3.8.

Just the way it is supposed to be ;-)
All 3.x are CentOS 3. All 4.x are CentOS 4. See my previous email.

http://vault.centos.org has all 'deprecated' versions like 3.5 for the 3.x branch and 4.0 -> 4.3 for the 4.X one I suppose you need such specific version because of a driver disk ?
Cool! Vault is what I wanted.
Thanks!

Yes. Sometimes one has, e.g., a customer running a specific older version who is having a problem you cannot reproduce on a later one, and you therefore must have the same version to attempt troubleshooting.
There may be other reasons too, though that's the one I"ve encountered more than once.
Since all the mirrors in the centos mirrors list seem to have 3.8 in all the 3.x directories, and I've never found vaault.centos.whatever on the mirror list (or am I blind?) it's hard to find a specific older one.

as the content on vault.centos.org is huge, and a single unit, as to external load from the internet, it is intentionally NOT a mirror.

This happens to me too sometimes.

It's not generally mirrored but atleast available on my mirror (mirror.nsc.liu.se/centos-store) and possibly on some others.

I think you could find CDs here: http://vault.centos.org/3.5/

Anybody in favor of calling CentOS 5 "CentOS 5". No minor versions added. The way Red Hat is doing it. This 3.x and 4.x thing just confuses people.
Scott, once you install 3.5 and apply all security patches and other bug fixes, you'll end up with 3.8. So why not save yourself some bandwith and simply install from 3.8 media? No matter if you install from 3.5 or 3.8 media, you'll be effectively running CentOS 3. It's just that in later case (3.5) you'll have more security holes in your system.
To answer you question, yes, you can download old media from vault.centos.org. But that is just a bandwith vaster, IMO. Even if you have a big fat pipe connecting you to the internet, like the MIT has.

There was a rumor (here? somewhere.) that RHEL5 will actually have "forked" versions for the u1, u2, etc. updates, so there actually *will* be something equivalent to 5.1 and 5.2. (The current way, practically speaking, forces one to accept a huge bunch of updates all at once several times a year, because future security updates assume those are in place.) Anyone have any insight as to whether this is the path upstream will be following?

afaik, that might happen with the 4U5, and could carry onto 5 as well. But I've not heard nor seen anything official looking from upstream that might indicate they are doing this or even the sort of policy they plan on implementing.

I dont think we'd achieve much with that - Lots of apps and vendors out there that require a specific version like 3.5 or EL3 update 5, and only specifically support that one release and update.
Maybe what we need to do is make this info more readily available and clearer to people. So such confusion - about 3.5 being a different version from 3.8 - does not come up.

Others have already pointed to vault, I'd just like to mention that to lessen the load on the central server you could use: http/ftp/rsync://mirror.nsc.liu.se/centos-store/
Also if you want this to remain a 3.5 system you'll have to point your yum against the relevant 3.5 update directory on store/vault. _NOTE_ however that this will leave you _WITHOUT_ recent updates.
