You can use its network feature in lan (not applicable for home users) using network boot CD. this can lead to install not only one version but more and other versions of linux flavour. Few simple steps to install from network 1. dump all CDs from any ISO extracter tool like WinISO 2. put all RPMS of each CD in one RPM directory ( where you kept the first CDs RPM) 3. make a bootable using rawrite utility (Customised bootable CD can also be burned through Bart bootbale site http://nu2.nu and each network.img can be put all together with customised option) This can solve a big problem for further linux realease. and only one bootbale CD can start installation over network. I have tested more than 12 linux release using customised bart CD image size of 65Mb. Thanks, Nadeem

Or maybe VMWARE. Another obscure option would be to dig Linux-From-Scratch style of installation, or perhaps hacking Anaconda a bit to do it. Or see if any of the distros around support that already?
