It's possible to do it with multiple CD ISOs, but much, much easier to do it with the DVD iso. I set it up on the FTP server like this: yum -y install vsftpd mount -o loop /path/to/FC5_DVD.iso /var/ftp/pub service vsftpd start Then it's just a matter of pointing the installation to the ftp server. -- * The Digital Hermit http://www.digitalhermit.com * Unix and Linux Solutions kwan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
