I would really like to install Centos5.

I have taken the following action to install it.

I have downloaded the iso for CD's 1-5. Burned disc one and attempted to boot with it with no luck.

Then I downloaded the x86 DVD iso. Burned it to CD and attempted to boot.

Lastly I downloaded the Live CD and it boots with no issues.
I have tried for a week to install this "good" OS with no luck.

I'm I missing something? Is their a special way to install it.
Normally I just download the Live-CD or DVD of the distro I need and double click on the "Install to Hard Drive" icon and I'm off and running.

Centos5 I believe would really help me learn. Also using Fedora & Ubuntu but I really want Centos5.

Have you tried booting with the noapci or apci=no options, or maybe noauto (which I think disables auto detection of hardware, just so you can boot far enough to install.) ?

P.S. Oh, and what OS and program where you using to burn the ios's ? It might matter...

I found the problem...the iso was bad.
Downloaded the first disc form the 1-6 CD from a different location ripped it and it booted fine in my systme with now problems.
I'll be running it in vmware this weekend.

People with bad .iso images on their servers need to fix that trash.
I was think that everyone was crazy after attempting to download is 5 separate times with no luck.

After all I went through I would advise people to just pay for it from some vendor for $4.99 or something.
