Thanks, to clarify, we have our build, but the resulting folder is 
larger than what fits on one DVD.  It works fine using the http method 
or even using the ISO to install a VM, but we need to be able to install 
from physical DVDs as well.  Does anyone know of a good reference 
showing how to split the install across multiple DVDs?

Thanks.
