No worries.  Use the Net install CD and boot the system.   On another
system in your LAN,  mount the DVD ISO and export it via either http
or ftp.  I believe NFS/CIFS export is also an option but I am not 100%
sure.

On the "install" system that you have booted with the Netinstall Cd,
choose ftp/http install and point it to the local ftp/http server you
have setup in above step.

The Netinstall method from a "local" server takes care of this issue.

HTH.
