After downloading all the rest of the directories off Ximian and completing my local mirror (a step you won't have to go through if you're installing off the web or off a CD), then the installer started downloading all the packages off my local web server. However, it also needed some newer versions of GNOME software and some Red Hat updates, which it got at a blistering 1k/s off Ximian's webserver. I guess this is why you're supposed to pay for Red Carpet Express.
Installation took over half an hour, even on a 1ghz+ machine. I guess replacing 444 packages isn't an easy task. Few questions - it wants to know if you want to use [GDM] (yes) and [CUPS] (yes), and warns that some functionality will be lost if you don't.

!Initial setup
Upon clicking OK, the installer restarted X (There was no option not to do this - so make sure you've saved anything you were working on while it installed) and dropped me into the Ximian GDM theme with its big friendly invitation to "Login".
