If it has a DVD drive use [and burn it onto a DVD] - CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-DVD.iso <http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-DVD.iso> If it had a CD drive use [and burn it onto CD - well, a total of 6] - CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-1of6.iso <http://mirror.averse.net/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-1of6.iso> [and the rest, up to 6of6] Probably check out something like this... http://www.howtoforge.com/installation-guide-centos5.1-desktop When you said your going to work in Linux, I just guesses that this would be a desktop system. Google is your friend, and also check things like the CentOS wiki http://wiki.centos.org/ Subjects are great things too ;-) -Ross-
