I forgot to mention that sl5.5 does not detect wireless network automatically with the installing version like windows, so is sl6 doing it?. I think sl should have at installation all tools (and updated) for most important applications and for most wireless models instead of installing them by hand.

Thank you troy for your answers. Yes i will try this and also I just found the 5.5 iso I saved a year agao and will use it as I lost my 5.5 dvds I burn a year ago.

Do you advise us to use sl6 instead or is too early to use it .... as we will use our linux linux boxes for a research collaboration and we need all the programs run well there.

If that is the case, then the other two things I would do is

1 - Do a md5sum check on your downloaded iso and make sure it matches.
2 - Make sure my burning software knows that you are trying to burn a DVD and not a CD.

If you've checked both of those, then it is beyond my knowledge of what to do.

Hi Rachid,
When downloading files in Internet Explorer, you cannot download anything
bigger than 4 Gig via http. (It might be 3.9 Gig, I don't know the exact
number) So when you try to download our disk1 DVD, you are never getting the
whole image.
To fix this, download via ftp instead of http.
So go to
ftp://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/55/iso/
instead of
http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/55/iso/

And you should get a full image for the 5.5 dvd's.

Dear Troy, These days I downloaded the 5.5 dvd iso images and dics2 is
well burned to dvd however I had really problem to burn disc1 where the
system tells "the file isn't an image". Is disc1 iso image is corrupted at
sl ftp site? I downloaded the disc1 image several times in two different
windows 7 machines and I had the same problem every time I do it.
I did it a year ago and it worked but this time i found really problems
to burn disc1 iso image.


    Thank you, Rachid.
