network install is nice..but you still have to download that 4 gigs..frankly for me i have better usage for 4 gigs and having it all on one dvd is much more convenient..:)

Not a bad idea, but is there really any major benefit?
Surely the extra 4GB taken up by the DVD could be put to better use.
If you want to find a method of installing without have to swap discs all the time, why not try a network install (I use my Windows Desktop machine running Apache, for any HTTP installs I do). In this way you can also keep an up-to-date yum respository which you can also burn to DVD's yourself if you wish. Also (as I recently discovered) on disc 1 is an kernel and initrd that allows you to do a completely discless installation using PXE network boot, tried it last night and it works great.
Just my 2 pennies worth anyway.

I am wondering if there are any plans to release a large dvd iso of the centos distribution? dvd burners are taking off and this would be a good addition. Instead of three cd iso's one big dvd iso.
