Re: [CentOS] no more single cd installs?
Installs from the first CD still work. You just need to make sure that you chose Customize software packages now instead of the default Customize later and deselect every package on the next screen. It has worked for me on all CentOS v5 (including 5.3) and Fedora 9,10 and 11. Later you can use yum to add the Base group and any other required packages.

Choosing minimal installation (at the end of the page when you choose custom installation) will give you a perfect working installation with init:3 as default. Then it's just a matter of yum install / groupinstall foo and inittab editing to have a graphical environment available.
