 CentOS is the recommended OS for use with NetFPGA. The most current version is 5.3, which is not listed as a version of CentOS that works with NetFPGA, but was used anyways.  
 
+=== CentOS 5.3 ===
+The latest version is CentOS 5.3.  
+
 For the installation, the net install iso was chosen because of its small size. This can be found on any mirror site. 
  * CentOS mirrors : http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/
  * Network installation of CentOS : http://www.tonybhimani.com/2007/12/20/centos-51-network-install-instructions/
  
+=== CD install of CentOS 5.2 === 
+The .iso images can be found here: http://vault.centos.org/5.2/isos/i386/ 
+You only need CD's 1 through 4. k3b on Ubuntu was used to burn the images since the images burned with Windows seemed to become corrupt. It seems that you need to manually configure the network interface for eth0.

 Before installing the netFPGA base package, make sure to update the kernel, since the dependencies for NetFPGA software require a newer version of the kernel than the one for 5.3. To install the basic drivers, install teh yum repository and GPG key, followed by the netFPGA base package.
