Just in case anyone doesn't know, you can download the full set
of iso images to a directory on your LAN that is exported by
NFS, burn only the first one to boot with 'linux askmethod'
at the boot prompt, select NFS as the method and fill in
the server info, and the installer will do all of the
magic loopback mounting of the images over the network so
you don't have to swap disks during the install.
But, the single disk server install is still a nice
addition to the options.
