this makes a lot of sense to me.

sure its a multi-cd install
buts the first rh set is readily available
and the customized emc part is a much smaller download.

would need to specify what kind of rh install, should 
not be too hard.

its the way I had to install anyway, as there was something odd about
my hardware.    (that box is ancient random junk)
