I'm in no way disputing the fact that accurate information on the website
is important. (It is sometimes better to have no information than wrong or
misleading information.)
However it is not required to burn ISOs on new media in order to do
installations. I'd recommend using a system (or in my case a laptop) that
stores the latest ISO images and is used as an installation server.
Most hardware allows booting from the network and do unattended
installations from this installation server, and if booting from the
network does not work, you still only require the very first CD to boot
and kick of a network installation.
If you do it like that, your only concern is to have the latest ISOs
available (at all time) on this installation server.
It would be surprising if I didn't promote my own tool for this :)

If you have problems setting up an installation server with Yam, feel free
to let me know and I'll help (and fix the documentation).
Kind regards,
