Hi
We use CentOS and RHEL, the 5.5 RHEL ISO for x86_64 is 3.7GB (**), the CentOS one is 4602MB (***) split over two DVDs. Is this reasonable and correct? Any ideas why would there be such a discrepancy if they are built from the same (or very similar) source?
Regards Anthony Caetano
** the md5sum checks out, and RHN lists the size as 3,532 MB
*** CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-1of2.iso + CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD-2of2.iso (according to ftp.heanet.ie:/pub/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64 )

The upstream has different ISOs for different versions. Clustering, for example, is split out. The CentOS disks have them all in one ISO. More bang for the buck...

would have been nice if the split would have been below 32 bit MS tool limits.

perhaps the following will help in understanding. https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25548&viewmo...

no idea which 'ms tools' he's referring to, but the freeware IMGBURN has no problem with burning >4GB .ISO files to DVD on 32bit Windows.

Unless maybe it was downloaded to a VFAT partition - but that's a generic problem with dvd images.

I had a proxy, somewhere in the chain, spit out "Arithmetic result exceeded 32 bits." each time it encountered the first image. Hopefully there is a small amount of the CentOS population behind such Proxies, granted the CDs made t OK.

That seems to be the same kind of software which stops downloading DVDs (or rather breaks the process) at around 370MB. You don't want to know how many problem reports we had for that.
But sorry - I (at least) really couldn't care less if people deploy broken software. I know, not your fault, but maybe you can tell people along the chain, that there is something which breaks things.

As far as I know it contains most of the OpenOffice language packs. It shouldn't be needed to do an install unless you are going to install some of the more unusual packs.

That's mostly what he said (4.6Gb for the x86_64)... If RH DVD is 3.5GB, how come CentOS one is 4.7GB...? Isn't there a RH Desktop and Server distinction?
