It takes a silly long time to download a dvd iso over your average home broadband connection.
How exactly does it take longer than downloading the ISOs?
I need three of the six isos currently to do a reasonable installation.
It would follow that that's ~1.8GB instead of the ~3gb that it would be if the srpms were on the same disk.
It might be reasonably cheap on a single system, but think about all those mirror servers out there. They'd have to store the 6 CD ISOs, the "small" DVD ISO and the full DVD ISO.
