As it is right now, users have to download the ISOs, then burn
disks,
then verify disks, then install from them. This is a slow process if
one is using a 4x CDRW disk in a slow CDROM drive.
Dump the isos to a partition -- I have one usually called /iso for this
purpose -- and burn the rescue cd image. (or try sticking that on a USB
key. I have one, work-necessary, key, so I haven't tried this.)
Then use 'linux askmethod' and 'hard drive' for the install.
Saves on CDs something considerable, especially if the rescue image (or,
historically, the first CD) is going on a rewritable.
