[CentOS-mirror] New mirror

I wouldn't mind having just a net-install iso.
I'm lucky enough to have a decent connection at home, Atleast for around 
here, of about 30/5
And my second mirror at work is on symmetrical 100mb fiber. So booting 
from a small iso, and http or ftp'ing all the stuff needed is fast.
And here at home on gigabit, Net-install is faster then the dvd.
I've done a base 5.3 install in like 1 minute (once it starts copying).
