That was actually one of my thoughts...I'll just mount the Volume on my Mac and create a disk image (.dmg for Mac folks / .iso for Windows folks) --- turns out...I really didn't notice by the install disk contains a Mac .dmg. -- So yes, I just transferred the dmg file (via external USB HD / Flash Drive would work fine too) . Then I copied the disk image to my laptop, a simple double-click mounted the image and subsequent install went without incident. I probably should have tried that first before mucking with a "download".
