If your boxes have a fast/unlimited internet connection, try different
mirrors near your area to see which is the fastest. This will also prove
useful for the previous message I sent on this topic (adding yum update
to the %post section).

I just did it this morning at work (we have lots of internets there) and
I got a full CentOS 5.3 system installed and running in Xen in a matter
of 10 minutes or so.

If you wanted to use the installation dvd served via FTP that will also
work but unless you want the full repository on your system, tell yum
update to take care of the work for you.

Just be careful, if you don't have a lot of monthly network bandwidth
allowed, this will definitely get rid of it in a hurry. My 60GB at home
gets mighty low when I bring up new VMs and testing setups.

Hope this helps!
