There is a conversation going on that you can follow on this link :

Some links are provided to various dvd building scripts. your milage may 
vary. as always, test and test often.

You dont need to burn the cd-1. loop mount the cd-1's .iso file, and 
look in the /images/ directory - depending on the {arch} being 
installed, you will find boot.iso files. Usually just a few MB in size. 
Burn those instead of the entire CD-1.

You might be better of working through the doc set available at  :

Tried PXE yet ? wont even need to burn that 1 cd anymore. Even on a 
moderately busy 100mbps network, I've found the network installs to be 
faster than Cd-Rom. Or then maybe I just have slow cd-roms' :D)
