I would suggest a network install, it's faster than reading from CD drives. For me, it turns what's over an hour into about fifteen minutes. I spend more time deciding on partitioning and what to install, than installing. I install using a HTTP with the RPM files (basically just a copy of the install CD-ROMs to the same directory). Seems less grunt on the server to just give the file you want rather than try and spool through huge ISO files. I also have the update RPMs on my server, so other terminals can be updated from the same sets of files. This is the slowest aspect of installations, for me (*ALL* the updates). -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
