Last night I had to download an iso image of the newest CentOS, we had purchased new server racks at work..
so my choices are; 7 CD ISOs? or 1 DVD????? (which is only available via torrent!!!) you have got to be kidding me, seems like I am not alone either. just a thought, saving bandwidth and all, why not make a netinstall..."debian style". i know the possiblilty of making one and yadda yadda... but a quick 200 Mb minimal netinstall iso is not an insane demand.
changing multiple cd's in a data center is not very fun (plus it's always cold as hell) and PXE is a hastle, period.
....and frankly the only time it is not a hastle is when you have more then a few racks to install on.
