I am going through exactly the same thing. I have copied the contents of the DVD to a Linux server on the network. Added an entry to /etc/exports to make it available with NFS. Put in the mini-installation disk and press F3 to get a list of installation methods[1]. Select NFS, tell it the IP address and directory on the remote server and Bob's your Aunties live in lover. If the PC with the DVD drive is a Windows PC, you could put it in to a shared folder and select SMB when doing the install.
