To do a HTTP install you need a mounted ISO image. What we have set up here is a yam repository to do all our updating plus installations.

It works great for us and cuts down on internet traffic. Our yam box syncs off a centos mirror and we pull all our updates from the local repository.

Hope this helps.

When, after starting the install, you get a list of places for the distribution, listing things like:

CDrom, NFS, FTP, HTTP, Local hard drive

What is expected on the HTTP url? The ISO images?

Help please, as the system I am installing on, boots off of CDrom, but then the CDrom seems to be so old (Toshiba NW24XCD), that there is no Linux driver for it in the base install. And I cannot figure out how to get it to read from the CD, but I DO have LAN access....
