Yup.. 4 CD's.
I have been running version 3.0 respin 2 for some time and have been very 
pleased with it.
I don't know that I can rip any extra benefits from version 4.x, at least 
not I'm aware of. I use the servers
for web hosting.
In any event, version 3.0 respin 2 took me 58:04 minutes (only 58 minutes) 
which is fantastic and that includes a
regular ADSL service connection for testing purposes as oppose to the live 
settings where there will
be a local switch connecting the http server with the server being 
installed, so running at 100Mbit between
them should speed things up dramatically and I expect it to run at less than 
10 minutes all inclusive which
is outstanding and I'm very happy with.

So, my next 'challange' is to speed the process even further and have this 
installation run hands-free
with kickstart (which I've never used before!).
How do I instruct the installation to run hands free pre-configured with the 
selected services that I want?

For the live settings, I'll need to setup static IP network values, as 
oppose to the testing environment of DHCP.
How do I configure kickstart to run from the installation menu with 
pre-defined values?
