Since one physical system is in a co-lo out of state I would burn that to
an ISO file locally, ftp that bad boy to the remote system and load it up
as an image catalog. And then install it remotely.
No, one does not need to constantly be banging on the DVD drive.
After all, who wants to drive all that way only to find out the DVD was
bad? I'm not a big fan of installing directly from physical DVD's.
There's nothing like doing a 10 volume OS upgrade only to find volume 9 is
bad. Simply not a concern if you use virtual optical.
