[CentOS] Why CentOS 5.2 is so large?
Hi, folks. I have download the DVD image of CentOS 5.2. Comparing with the DVD image of Upstream OS Provider, I got a surprise: The size of the DVD image of Upstream OS Provider is just 2.87 GB(i386), but the size of the DVD image of CentOS 5.2(i386) is so large that is 3.74 GB! I kown that CentOS's developers did very excellent work on how to make the Upstream OS more availability and add many good free software on the CentOS. But where can I got the change or add list of CentOS? and why the size change is so large? I think it is very useful for my farther employ of CentOS. Thanks! (Yes, I can read the ReleaseNotes, but it is still can not disabuse me, the secsion of 5.6. Packages added by CentOS that are not included upstream is so little.) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

This is because you download a not-released version of CentOS 5.2. The iso you have is faulty. This was discovered yesterday and updates images are being distributed. So please wait for the official announcement before starting to download.

Michael, did you get an official announcement for 5.2? I didn't. To my knowledge any 5.2 release yet is unofficial. Therefor I wouldn't use it. Gerald Michael Liang wrote: Hi, folks.

Also please note there are two DVDs on RHN: the server version with 2,934 MB and the client version with 3,682 MB CentOS distributes only one DVD which contains everything bundled into one DVD.

But, as you know, the famous distro users had jammed the download server when new distro launched didn't show their hate but love of the distro. Yes, I know. And I very appreciate the CentOS developers' hard work. If you want me just waiting and keeping quiet, I will do as you ask. :-) I'm sorry for my impatient conduct. :-P Can I ask everything to have a little more patience please.
