Hi,
I have downloaded the following version:
CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso
from the mirror:
http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/
What I want to ask is that 'Release2' is the complete OS and after installation we can use 'yum update'. So at first, is it enough (as I am not going to download the complete set of 7 CDs)?

Hi,
AFAIK you cannot perform an installation from the LiveCD.. You will need at least CD1 for a minimum instal or do a netinstall (there is a netinstall.iso). You could also get the DVD: http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.torrent

This DVD is having KDE or GNOME desktop? As I want KDE one?

It should have both and you can custom-select packages during the install or add things later over the internet with yum. But, KDE doesn't seem to be a big priority for Red Hat and may seem even more outdated than the rest of the system.
