Where bandwidth is expensive find some local friends and form a sort
of user group.  Exchange and burn iso images.  Are local calls
expensive is SA.  You should be able to connect to each other directly
(not through and ISP) and transfer files, TCP/IP, uucp, ...

If you have the ISO images  you can mount them local.
Something like this to match your own system... In /etc/fstab...

  /iso/RH/FC3/FC3-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/FC3/disc1 iso9660 ro,loop=/dev/loop0 0 0
  etc...

Then in /etc/httpd/conf.d build a file a bit like this "ISO.conf" file.

    $ cat ISO.conf
    Alias   /iso  "/iso"
    <Directory "/iso">
	    Options Indexes
	    DirectoryIndex index.html index.txt /cgi-bin/index.pl
	    AllowOverride All
	    Order allow,deny
	    Allow from HostsYouTrust
    </Directory>

Now if you boot with the FIRST CDROM "linux askmethod" you
will be able to boot and install.
