The livecd is a popular way of installing now, and that's not going to be multi-media.See also dual-layer DVD, or blu-ray media.
But if you do not have all the rpms on multiple DVD's then is is imcomplete distribution method. If one wants all of Fedora or RHEL then having all of the rpms on multiple DVD's is easier to obtain than mirroring. In the case of RHEL there is no mirroring thus multiple DVD's are required.
