    CentOS 6.1 Installation

    I am preparing to install CentOS 6.1 in a VM. I went out to the site, Index of /centos/6.1, to download and saw all these folders on the download site. I am not sure what to download. Please advise.

    This can be used as a repository or to mirror to your local repository.
    Dont bother too much for now

    On that centos mirror go into the directory called "isos"
    In there are dvd ISOs suitable for a local install.

    Your virtualizer can directly use such an ISO file as a cdrom/dvd drive, so no need to burn it first.
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    There is an isos folder on that site. inside are 2 folders i386 and x86 64. Is that the folder you are refering to and which one of the 2 folders should i use?

    That would be the folder.
    As far as which folder you need, it depends on your computer. i386 is for 32-bit processors, but will run just fine on 64-bit.
    x86_64 is only for 64-bit CPUs.

    I figured it out. DVD 2 is only needed for a server install. You only need disk 1 for the default, desktop, install. thanks for all the help.
