I would suggest a network install, it's faster than reading from CD
drives.  For me, it turns what's over an hour into about fifteen
minutes.  I spend more time deciding on partitioning and what to
install, than installing.

I install using a HTTP with the RPM files (basically just a copy of the
install CD-ROMs to the same directory).  Seems less grunt on the server
to just give the file you want rather than try and spool through huge
ISO files.

I also have the update RPMs on my server, so other terminals can be
updated from the same sets of files.  This is the slowest aspect of
installations, for me (*ALL* the updates).
