How to burn Centos 5.7 CD/DVD from iso

Post by Art11 » 2012/02/27 01:57:41

Hi,
I downloaded 8 iso files. Have no idea how to create CD/DVD from those 8 files. They do not extract into a single image file as expected... Please help.
Thank you.

If you downloaded 8 files then you have the CD images. They need to be burned to CD media and not unpacked. See [url=http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-bba5523102ae19bc33329ac298e47e94dd398f9c]FAQ #15. How do I download and burn the CentOS isos?[/url]

If you really wanted DVD media you could have downloaded DVD-1of2, and optionally DVD-2of2, from one of the repositories that features direct DVD downloads, or used a torrent. To create a DVD from what you have see [url=http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CDtoDVDMedia]CD to DVD Media[/url] but it will require dual-layer media for a single ISO image. If you do want to extract the contents for a local mirror repo then see [url=http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror]Creating Local Mirrors for Updates or Installs[/url].
