You will still need a boot CD with the iso files installed. The iso 
files are raw images of what the CD will be so they have to be mounted 
by the boot cd to be usable.

You can probably save the iso files to either a fat32 or an ext3 
partition that will not be part of the install and boot from the cd 
using askmethod as described in earlier postings. You will select 
install from hard drive and then enter the /dev/partition from either a 
pulldown menu or need to type in the device locations. If you put the 
iso files in a directory, you will need to enter that information also.

There should be some documentation somewhere as to how to install from 
hard drive. The organization of the installer was self explanatory for 
me but it may not be obvious to another person.
