Thanks for mentioning that option. Didn't realize there was a network 
install option available now. (When I used Fedora 5 or so a long time ago, 
it didn't have that option. Hadn't realized it was now added).

I'd prefer downloading 1 or 2 CDs and then proceeding from there instead 
of the network install. If I go the former way, atleast I'll have all the 
stuff I want in hand. Later if I want to install SL on more machines, I 
won't have to download all the components again ...
