Where, exactly, did you get the "dvd-i386" iso?
There are many i386 DVD images relating to Scientific Linux. Until we
know which one you are talking about, it's very hard to help.
I checked my "history" and found this link, which was the source of the
incident DVD image:
http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/55/iso/i386/dvd/SL.55.051810.DVD.i386.disc1.iso
Thanks for sending that. It helps narrow things down.
Installation page does need a bit of work.
You previously said
"I am attempting to install the dvd-i386 iso on a Dell Dimension 5100c
(P4+2GB+CD/DVD) system.
...it attempts to use the option for local CDRom, it fails
to see the DVD that the installation is actually running off of. The
process halts, and all activities await a recognized CD."
Do you happen to know how what style your CD/DVD is?
Is it ATA, SATA, SCSI, or USB?
It might sound odd that we would list USB, but some manufacturers are
starting to do that. Maybe a USB DVD drive is cheaper than a SATA one,
I don't know.
