[CentOS] Installing CentOS via HTTP

[Bassett, Mark]

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.

Subject: [CentOS] Installing CentOS via HTTP

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....
