But, here is the catch. I didn't pay for the external floppy drive, or a CD writer. So, I've downloaded the ISO images, I have verified the MD5SUM, I can even mount the images and view the files inside. But as far as I can tell, without writing the images to a CD, it appears that I can't do anything usefull with them. It seems like it should be possible to mount the images during the install process, instead of the CD-ROM. Has anyone ever tried that?

Just mount the ISO image files into the path of an ftp server and you
can do a network install.
