them as installation source. To set up an HTTP, NFS or FTP server that uses ISO images
instead of media copies, proceed as follows:
1 Download the ISO images and save them to the machine to use as the installation
server.
2 Log in as root.
3 Choose and create an appropriate location for the installation data, as described
in
Section 14.2.2, "Setting Up an NFS Installation Source Manually"
Section 14.2.3, "Setting Up an FTP Installation Source Manually"
Section 14.2.4, "Setting Up an HTTP Installation Source Manually"
4 Create subdirectories for each CD or DVD.
5 To mount and unpack each ISO image to the final location, issue the following
command:
mount -o loop path_to_iso path_to_instsource/product/mediumx
