Hi. I'm installing CentOS far from home and forgot the CDs... I don't have time to download all 4, what are my best options? I can download CD 1 and perhaps 2 - is that enough? Is there a way to install directly over the internet from one of the mirrors?
Thanks.
Morten
Yes, you can have a minimal installation using the first CD only Then use YUM to install whatever else you need

if you boot the cd-1 with 'linux askmethod' the installer will ask you where you want to install from, you can then select http/ftp and use a public mirror to install the distro from.
Alternatively, you can do a minimum install from CD1 and then yum install whatever else you need at a later time.
