If you have another machine set up as an NFS server it is quick and easy 
to download/copy the iso images to a directory there, then boot the 
first install CD with 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt, then pick 
nfs image as the method and fill in the server and path to the 
directory.  The installer will do all the magic of loopback mounting the 
images as needed so you don't have to wait around to swap disks after it 
is started.

Also, sometimes it helps to burn CDs at a slower speed if you have to do 
it that way.
