Someone posted a script to generate a DVD iso from the others I believe.

There are good reasons for trying to get a base setup down to 1 or 2 CD's (and for
workstation with basic languages it is btw in FC1). Firstly if you have a really dodgy
CD drive then doing a minimal install of CD then using yum to pull the rest off another
box is a lifesaver. Secondly for plenty of people 3 CD's is a lot of date, and a great
way to exceed broadband limits in many places if they have broadband.
