Media distribution for Rational Developer for System/z

The quantity of CDs for RD/z is somewhat ridiculous (I think that 7.6 has 58 CDs). A much more preferable option would be to put the client CDs onto a portable harddrive. The install should be modified (if necessary) so that after all upfront selections have been made that the install proceeds with no further user intervention. Another feature of the install should be to record this process so that any other PCs could then be kicked off from the recorded file. I know that silent installs are possible currently...I'm talking about the user being optionally led through this process during the install.
