I keep a copy of (all versions) of the .ISO images up on my nfs server
in /files/redhat/<version> and I export the /files directory.
When you boot the installer, instead of just hitting enter to go to the
gui install, type in 'linux askmethod' (or if the system doesn't find
the CD-ROM, you'll get to this point anyway). When you get to the
media, select NFS Install. Give you local machine a network connection
and point it at the IP and share of the nfs server. Viola, from that
point forward, as long as it finds the media, you'll just doing a normal
install.

Thanks Brian,
I have never done a network install before so this might be some fun. I
Looks like the installation guide gives the details except I can not
find how to use the media. I presume I need to copy the media to a
different Linux machine and then mount it making it active with NFS. Is
that correct?
