Yes, but I still have to download 670Mb of the first CD. The idea is to have a 
CD image that doesn't have more then 100Mb (like the rescue CD). How hard is 
it to make an extra image, just like CD1, but with default installation 
method one of: network, www, ftp, nfs, etc., and no other .rpm packages?

The other thing I put in the mail was the ability to install from a yam 
server. Maybe I haven't read enough yet. If I put the URL of the yam server 
in the www download of the installation, will the yam server become a simple 
www mirror of FC3.
