If you have another Linux machine on the network you can speed
up installs and avoid CD issues by doing an NFS install.  Just
download the iso images to a directory on a Linux box that is
exported via NFS and burn only the first disk.  Then enter
'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt, pick NFS as the install
method and fill in the details for the NFS export.  The installer
will do all the magic of mounting the images for you.  It is faster
than CDs and you don't have to hang around to swap disks.
