I'd have thought so, but I was asking in case there was some bug in the
newest install routine.

It occurred to me that you could have some SELinux issues from that sort
of thing, if the contexts aren't in place to allow HTTP serving of those
files.

I did a network install of FC7 ages ago, but I can't recall what
protocol I used.  Whichever technique it was, I would have copied the
files to a directory, I didn't use a loop mount, or serve out the ISO.

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.
