No, there are servers which do have the DVD downloadable; however, it's not the case for all the servers. http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=30 (Check the 'Direct DVD Downloads' coloumn.) > There is CentOS-5.5-x86 64-netinstall.iso Is this also an .iso which one can > download to install CentOS5.5? Yes, it will boot the installer, which then fetches the packeges needed via your internet connection. However, a connection is mandatory then, in contrast to an installation from DVD. But keep in mind to update the system ASAP using 'yum update', for which an internet connection is of course needed, too.
