I would expect it to work as you had it though...
- I would use /pub/centos/5/os/i386
- I would use the same boot disc, i.e.

http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-bin-1of6.iso
  to boot the computer

but either way, it should have worked though I thought that the Georgia
Tech web server was quite slow to respond...perhaps anaconda is just
timing out.

as with your path (5.1), the repodata directory is indeed there...

http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/5/os/i386/repodata/
