You are right. Sorry, I should have said v 5.4
That disc #7 is over 700 MB.
Now I see. Yes, this is definitely to big for a normal CD-ROM.

Troy or Connie can maybe have a look at this.
However, I guess for a "normal" installation you don't need disc7. But
I'm only guessing.

When I try to burn this one, my burner says it is a DVD image.
I think that is because it is too big to fit. My blank
CD says it will hold 707 MB.
If I buy a different kind of blank CD's will that possibly
work?
Hi Chris,
That's strange. If I download SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso from
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/iso/i386/CD/ I get an
iso file which is 697MB. This should fit on a 700MB CD. Have you checked
the md5sum of your downloaded iso file?
# wget
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/53/iso/i386/CD/SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso
# du -csh SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso
697M SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso
697M total
# md5sum SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso
e6808afa7cd3bdf048b6a0bcdda25088 SL.53.031909.CD.i386.disc7.iso

Yes, this is our mistake, and we'll have to remake the CD's.
But Urs is somewhat correct. On a normal, English (and possibly a
couple other languages) install, you don't need the 7th disk.
This will take a couple of days to make and test.
