I have the 6 CDs for CentOS 5, and I have installed it on a couple

I just tried to create a virtual machine under VMware 5.5.4, it
goes through the 1st CD without problem, and crashes on the 2nd CD
for Xorg.
Any suggestion?
Download the DVD, since there's no value in swapping disks with a VM.
You can ask VMware to treat the raw ISO image as a real DVD-ROM drive,
so you don't have to have any kind of optical drive in the VM host
server machine.
You can also put the cd iso images under an NFS-exported directory, boot
the first one (virtually if you want) with 'linux askmethod' at the boot
prompt and fill in the NFS server info as you would with a physical
machine. But, the dvd is easier.
