[NTLUG:Discuss] ISO Extractor?

No sir, it was much easier that I expected.

I put the four iso files in /export/iso, and exported /export/iso
with NFS.

During the install I selected NFS, pointed to the correct machine and
to the directory /export/iso.  That's it!

I feel guilty because it was so easy.
