You could always use mkdvdiso.sh (see Google) to turn the four or five CDs per release/architecture into a single DVD ISO image and use those, assuming the machines you may need to use them on have DVD-ROM drives. Alternatively, mount the DVD ISOs via loopback, make them available on a central server (or one server/location, if bandwidth limitations apply) and add PXE booting and kickstart into the mix to automate things as much as possible. -- Jeremy L.
