I understood from this posting that it was possible to install FC4
'without' extracting the files from the iso images via the install from

only the install from hard drive method. I've not been able to find any
information on this.

I tried this via the NFS install method and got the message "The
following ISO images are missing which are required for the install: CD
#2". It worked fine without extracting the iso images up to that point.
The method works for NFS too and is my installation method of choice.
Hard disk installs and NFS installs can use this method because the
installer can "see" the ISO images on the filesystem and loopback mount
them locally. This doesn't apply for HTTP and FTP installs, so those
methods require that the contents of the ISOs are extracted server-side.
What do you have in your FC4 install directory on the NFS server?

Thanks Paul. What am I missing?
