a DHCP/PXE server isnt going to reply to internet queries, and your TFTP
server should be restricted to local addresses only, this pretty much
secures a netinstall. the rest? I use a http server with a copy of
the OS mirror, who cares if the internet can see it?

indeed, the 'minimal' install ISO is hardly any bigger than the
netinstall ISO, and is less hassle... after doing the minimal install,
you can `yum groupinstall` anything else you need. The only time I use
netinstall is when I'm doing a full jumpstart/kickstart style install
via PXE.
