Installation Related Issues

The full installation of FC requires 5 CDs and even if one file cannot 
be read in the last CD during the installation, the entire installation 
process fails wasting a lot of time and effort. Isn't it possible to 
skip that particular file (rpm) and continue with installation so that 
the entire process does not have to repeated again and one can only 
reinstall that particular RPM. I understand that there could be issues 
related to dependencies but they can be resolved also.

If I remember correctly, there was a talk of reducing the core 
installation to not more than 2 CDs with the option of installing the 
rest of packages once the basic system was up and running. Just wanted 
to find out if its still being considered.

Thanks,
