I myself bumped into this situation a few times. A small update. The mirror is no longer available. If you still wanna use 5.2 packages, use <a href="http://vault.centos.org/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/%24file" rel="nofollow">http://vault.centos.org/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/$file</a> instead. Nice work eric.

Tip for others: # cat /etc/issue CentOS release 5 (Final) Gives your version. Mine was Version 5 do wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/$file; Change this line of the script to the correct version/path i.e. I had to change /5.2/ to /5/ for version 5 Thanks very helpful. Tip for others:

# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 5 (Final)

Gives your version. Mine was Version 5

do wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.2/os/i386/CentOS/$file;

Change this line of the script to the correct version/path

i.e. I had to change /5.2/ to /5/ for version 5
