It is some two years old and I guess after seeing the things that it could
be 32 bit which is in requirement.

I need only one CD, isn't it true that one CD could be burned instead of
DVD? For the

CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso<http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso>

Please let me know if it is the complete OS for one CD? Further there are 7
parts in bin download
files(CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1of7.iso<http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1of7.iso>)
such seven parts, that are not required or not for 32 bit? Only the link:

 CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso<http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD-Release2.iso>

is having complete OS 5.5 for 32 bit, but where could be obtained the
torrent link for this particular file?
