Also, you can do a network or hard disk install.  I normally download 
the iso to another machine on my network, then mount the image and 
install from there.  There is a smaller boot.iso in the images directory 
that makes this near effortless.  I cannot remember the last time I 
burned a distro to CD for installation.
