Just an idea.

On the machine you will be installing - is there a spare FAT32 (or
EXT2/EXT3) partition which you will NOT be reformatting during the
install?  If so, and you have 4GB spare on that partition, copy all
the ISO's to that partition. Then boot with the first CD only and at
the boot use:'linux askmethod' which will allow you to use the ISO
files to install instead of the CD's.

I do understand this may not be an option for you, but I know this
method works well and faster than CD install.
