I do the same thing. If you're only installing 1 GB worth of packages, why should you download a 4 GB iso? If you're doing this over and over, you can set this up on a tftp server and set up netbooting with PXE and kickstart. That way, if you're lazy, you don't need to type in the URL or select packages. > a complete http install is actually almost as fast as a DVD install, > believe it or not. If the mirror is in the same building, it seems to go much faster than DVD.
