I have uploaded a new version of the 5.2 DVD to

ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/52/iso/x86_64

README.dvd

SL-52-100608-x86_64-DVD.iso
SL-52-100608-x86_64-DVD-extrarpms-security-contrib-srpms.iso
SL-52-100608-x86_64-DVD.SHA1SUM

I updated the README.dvd to reflect this change.

Only things changed is the use of the 
SL-52-100608-x86_64-DVD-extrarpms-security-contrib-srpms.iso image if one 
requests rpms that are actually  on this dvd.  Before it did not request 
this image.  It also contains the latest fastbugs and security errata on 
the 2nd dvd image.  These are not available during the install.
