1. Check the preferences and prevent i-Installer from 'thinning' the  
i-Packages after installation (Tasks & Processes tab)! On every Mac!

2. Share the folder of Mac 1 with the others!

3. - n. Set on the other Macs the i-Packages repository as this  
shared volume (Locations tab).

It would also work with a CD (<150 MB for TeX, 15 MB XeTeX, <60 MB CM- 
Super, 5 MB ConTeXt, 15 MB Ghostscript, <25 MB Imagemagick, · Å 330 MB).
