Thanks & Looks good Troy. Very simple & straight forward. One gotcha to 
watch for... Some of the other scripts and references in the links talk 
of (problems) generating proper checksums for the 'linux mediacheck' 
process during pre-install. The fedora wiki has a good detail of the 
steps needed to download, check sha1sums & burn disks...

I'd would be nice if the script was in SVN (could be updated) and 
possibly combined the DVD burn process too, but that is simple enough. 
Attached is a simple script I used last to save time, but mainly to help 
me remember the dvd device numbers and syntax for dvdrecord or growisofs 
(I don't burn disks very often).
