Insert clue:
I have a laptop and desktop boxes. I have better things to do that download
two sets of media. (and no the laptop doesn't have a DVD drive, and yes its
less than 12 months old)
You're running an enterprise network in your house, I understand.
Personally, I think that's a huge amount of pain (especially for
laptops) just so that your passwords are synchronized, but I'll accept
that you want to do it =)
Anyways, you don't actually need to download the full DVD. You can
also just download the boot.iso, and point it at a kickstart file that
has all your NIS information filled in, what packages you want, etc.
