I will read through the docs and see what I can find out, but I am doing
this from the ISO's, not cd's (so this is somewhat diff?). I would
rather not waste creating cd's if I can install from the ISO or create
the files from the ISO's.

Yes, I knew that, thanks. But he was only mounting the one ISO and at
first, and I wasn't sure if he was just using it to get started then
using the rest of the ISO's as themselves, or if you had to unpack them
or whatever so *all* files were there and doing the install that way.
