I need three of the six isos currently to do a reasonable installation.
It would follow that that's ~1.8GB instead of the ~3gb that it would be
if the srpms were on the same disk.
What I'd really like to see is a more robust ftp/http install that can
take advantage of multiple mirrors instead of stalling or failing if the
server you're using slows down, fails, has a corrupt or missing file etc.
on the network our mirror is connected to, http installs are typically
faster than local media.
