is this what you have on the CD
"CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveCD.iso " it is 702 meg image ( yes it will fit on a 700 meg CD - do to changes in names for Mb and Mib )
or
"CentOS-6.4-i386-LiveCD.iso " it is a 692 meg image
or the dvd
-- 32 bit
CentOS-6.4-i386-LiveDVD.iso -- 1.7 gig
-- 64 bit
CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveDVD.iso -- 1.7 gig
the CD's are only about 700meg so there is not much on it , and not a lot of hardware support
for installing the live images do have the ability to install to the harddrive
( but the mouse and keyboard are needed )
the 3.5 gig
"CentOS-6.4-i386-bin-DVD1.iso" is the regular install image
the DVD 2 is not needed 99.999% of the time - it has the source files on it
a good page on installing cent -- but just the basics
