With the nfs install, you just need to have the appropriate ISO's (1-5
in this case I think) in the same directory, with NO OTHER ISO's.  As in
iso 1 thru 5 in the same dir.  And make sure it's setup to be nfs shared
(via exports file and such).  Just burn a copy of the image/boot.iso, or
cd #1 or whatever, boot, at the prompt type 'linux askmethod' and away
you go.

There is no need to unpack the ISO's at all.
