I tried this method also, but found out that it requires the .iso's to be put on a FAT/VFAT partition only. I had placed it on an xfs partition and installer simply could not mount it. I tried even passing xfs as parameter to kernel during the boot of cd made from 'boot.iso' but it did not work. So finally I had to use a FAT partition. I wonder why installer cannot see xfs partitions to pickup .iso images during install. VJ
