Take a look at the RedHat/base/comps file. Figure out which modules you
are going to need, and make sure they are on the first disk. If you can
fit it all on one ISO, it won't need to swap CDs.
Otherwise you will have to spend a lot of time figuring out the dependencies
and the correct install order. It will probably take a while and a little
bit of trial and error and lots of sweat and toil. That's what we pay
RedHat to do <grin>.
Is there some reason why you can't do an install via NFS, FTP, or HTTP?
I've found FTP and HTTP in particular to be very fast installation methods
(often I can do a custom install in 10 - 15 minutes, and even faster with
kickstart).
