You could always use mkdvdiso.sh (see Google) to turn the four or five
CDs per release/architecture into a single DVD ISO image and use those,
assuming the machines you may need to use them on have DVD-ROM drives.
Alternatively, mount the DVD ISOs via loopback, make them available on a
central server (or one server/location, if bandwidth limitations apply)
and add PXE booting and kickstart into the mix to automate things as
much as possible.
