Re: iso install problem

[Jeff Bearer <jbearer pittsburghlive com>]

I don't think you can mount iso images for an install on the same
machine, now if the iso's are in a different linux machine you can mount
those images, copy the files to the hard disk, and nfs share those
files,  that's the way I setup network installs when I have iso files.

If you mounted the iso and nfs shared it I'd expect you to have problems
when it's time for disk2, and 3.

Maybe boot the pc into rh rescue mode, mount and extract the files from
the iso's and then use a hard disk install.  I guess that depends on
what filesystems are currently on your disk.
