Is a guide to installing Centos 6 32 bit that covers such
things like:
Minimal Kickstart example file
Centos 6 multimedia repos
Plus any other things I need to be aware of when moving from
5.8 to 6.2 (I know the latest version is 6.3 but I will
let yum deal with that when I upgrade the installed
packages.)

A lot of documentation can be found at http://docs.redhat.com, amongst
which is
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/index.html .

I'd check the release notes and technical notes that can also be found
there.
Regeards,
Leonard.

Hi Leonard.
Thanks for those pointers, I will take a look at them first
before attempting a migration to Centos 6.

If you run an interactive installation on a single machine, selecting the components that you want installed, the partition layout and so forth, that machine will generate a kickstart file for you to replicate other machines with located in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg. You can alter this file as you so choose and use it to then install other machines by passing it the ks= options for protocol, locations and whatnot.
Adding multimedia repos can be managed as part of the kickstarts post process to add things like RPMFusion, EPEL, ATRPMS and any other third party repo that you want. Once the repositories are available you can then install components from them.
As a side note, have a look at the documentation for kickstart and more specifically the "repo" options. You can include updates as part of the OS installation ending up with a host that has all updates applied during installation so that when it boots you have a fully patched system when rolled out.

Thank you for reminding me about that option to generate a
basic kickstart file. That's worth doing to get and example
kickstart file to work on later.

Are the 6 repos still the same as the 5 - apart from
the version change from 5.x to 6.x ?

Are you referring to the RH docs or Centos website & wiki
docs here James?
