i imagine you have kind of usb disk, which you carry around:

1. copy the DVD content on disk
2. rsync the rest of the installation source.

to quote gladiac's (http://www.cynapses.org/) rsync script:

[[[

SRC="rsync://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source/"

test -r $DST || mkdir -p $DST
