True, but the part of the project I am currently working on is adding the 
ability to boot from one disk, then install the actual RPMs from the 
official Red Hat CD's. This would make for a much smaller download.

Currently it dies right when it should prompt for the disk change, 
complaining that it can't unmount /mnt/source (The current CD)
So, to test if I'm making any headway, I need to create the installer CD.
