Note that this isn't as scary as it seems (except in your
very-small-for-today media scenario), because the first thing the old
boot.iso does after getting network info is download that other ~ 111MB. So
this should actually reduce network traffic overall.
I've been doing a similar thing at BU for years with our anaconda build.
We've got a lot of 10bT network still, so saving that extra transfer speeds
things up by a few minutes, too.
