Are you the guy/gal assigned to create network deployments and install the new Civil 3D 2010 software? There are a few things you should know.
1. The documentation on the DVD still refers to the network activation utility. That is a crock of hooey. There is no more network activation utility. To activate your new license(s) you need to go to: http://www.register.autodesk.com/
2. Before you even think about starting to build your deployment, copy the contents of the 3 installation DVDs to a location onto your server (or external drive...whatever). Copy all these into the same folder. Any messages regarding "This location already contains a folder blah, blah blah..." just click yes or Copy and Replace and move on.
The files on disk will end up taking up just shy of 8 GB.

I am not lying...check this out:
Once you have the files copied to a harddrive, launch setup.exe per usual.
In other happy news I am now an official LEED Accredited Professional. Or, as my dad says, "a card-carrying tree-hugger."
I'm now off to try to get the song Play that Funky Music (Whiteboy), out of my head.
