I do mine with an FTP server.  Throw the ISO's on to another server,
mount them on the loopback device, and point kickstart at it.  Takes
only a few minutes to set up and the install is nice and smooth.  As
others have said, http and nfs are options too - I use ftp since my
kickstart server happens to be a production FTP server anyway.

it doesn't work exactly as you want doesn't mean you have to don't have
to be polite and professional.
