If it is really that big of an issue, use the ~5MB boot.iso (I think the ~80MB rescuecd would work, too) and do a network install from a mirror. However, if you are installing more than two or so machines, I would argue that you save bandwidth downloading the full ISOs and installing locally. -- William Hooper
