=== Releases without upstream equivalents ===
Some of the ISO images released by the CentOS Project have no direct upstream equivalents. They are created for specific purposes, such as for providing a [[live bootable image]], or for providing a reduced-size installation medium.  In addition to those listed below, there are also [[#ALTARCH|AltArch]] releases, which also have no direct upstream equivalents.

LiveCD and LiveDVD images contain a [[bootable]] compressed file system, created by a set of custom scripts<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD |title=FedoraLiveCD |website=fedoraproject.org |access-date=30 October 2013}}</ref> using a [[Kickstart (Linux)|kickstart]] configuration file.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/ |title=CentOS LiveCD Project |website=centos.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130616224510/https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/ |archive-date=16 June 2013 |access-date=30 October 2013 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> These live images can be also installed to hard disk, thus obtaining a fully functional CentOS installation. The set of packages installed that way on a hard disk can not be adjusted during the installation, as that is a simple transfer of the image existing on CD/DVD, to a hard disk. After booting from hard disk, [[Yellowdog Updater, Modified|yum]] can be used for adding or removing packages.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveDVD6.4 |title=CentOS LiveDVD 6.4 Release Notes |date=17 May 2013 |website=centos.org |access-date=30 October 2013}}</ref>

MinimalCD images contain a minimum of packages required for a functional installation, with no compromises in security or network usability. These minimal images use the standard CentOS installer with all of its regular features minus the selection of packages. Yum can be used after the installation is completed to add or remove packages.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSMinimalCD6.0 |title=CentOS MinimalCD 6.0 Release Notes |date=5 October 2011 |website=centos.org |access-date=30 October 2013}}</ref><ref name="release-centos-6.0-minimal">{{Cite web |url=http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2011-July/017660.html |title=Release for CentOS-6.0 Minimal i386 and x86_64 |last=Karanbir Singh |date=28 July 2011 |access-date=29 July 2011}}</ref>
