I guess I am reading this differently from those who have posted, so here is my spin on this situation.

If the cdrom version you bought or got from a magazine, has a rather recent version of frugal_instal.sh then there is a way to "download and install" the most recent version of DSL. No cd-rw or floppies required. The frugal_instal.sh has an option to install from a URL location.
So booting from cdrom then running the URL install to hard drive and your set to go. If you don't like running the compressed image from hard drive, then if make two partitions one smaller just large enough for the compressed image (maybe use your current swap partition reformatted of course) then do a frugal URL install into the smaller one then bootup and then do a regaular hard drive install into the larger one. When done then reformat the smaller one which was frugally installed and use as swap.
