You are right. Sorry, I should have said v 5.4 That disc #7 is over 700 MB.

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 Cheers, Urs
