Hmm, probably good enough in this situation.

It depends on the options. In the current state, you are right, there is no 
easy process for that. But I remember some note that the current option is 
suboptimal anyway: Installing RPMs in dom0 from some potentially less trusted 
source is not what you want in general. (Sure, this depends on the scenario.) 
Once there is some alternative that allow convenient installation of VM 
templates from domUs, one could bring it on a separate flash stick. Or even on 
a second DVD.

You are right, but OTOH, downloading some far outdated templates within the 
install image (like you do with Q3.2 today) and then downloading newer images 
over the network can take even more time.

Oops. Of course, it was too late for RC1 at the time of writing… (Note the typo 
in my previous post – I wrote “rc1” instead of “rc4”.)
