Thanks for the feed back

I have tried the method=nfsiso:example.com:/some/dir/ when using the
main DVD to boot from - that failed.
Finger trouble maybe, or a difference when booting the CD image
suggested?

I have successfully tried the method suggested by
Alex Viskovatoff in the other thread

It worked perfectly

I think it probably only needs the documentation updating
to say put the install.img file in an images subdirectory for an NFS
install
