Thanks.
Actually I did know about these, though I've never used them.
I misunderstood the poster; I thought he/she was pointing to a file
that I should have downloaded.
In fact there was a Debug button to press when the process failed.
I looked at the output of this, but it didn't really help.
It seemed to say that the installation was looking for
a file in /dev/sdb7//ext2/ where /dev/sdb7 was the device holding the DVD.
I guess that, as pointed out, this could be something on the 2nd DVD.
On the other hand, I googled for the error message,
and it seemed several others had had the same problem.
That was why I asked if anyone had actually succeeded
in installing CentOS-5.6 from the hard disk.
