OK, I'm sure many have already downloaded the 5 CD isos and want to make a DVD image of it. I've looked around and found some similar scripts on how to do it.
Use this script after you download the CD isos to create a DVD iso.
You will need about 6GB of free space and about 5 mins of time. It's worked for me!
PS : Do not change install package options, or the installer will crash (hey it's still in test phases). I've noticed a lot of other bugs in FC5t1 and if you use ndiswrapper you'll have to download the kernel-devel package (not on the CD). Also the system-config-packages doesn't work (says it can't find tree) - I even tried using CD1 iso and it still fails - so you'll have to install RPMs manually until that's fixed.
Enjoy!
