Thanks Pedro,

I never used the hd install option from the boot.iso. The times that I 
installed was from a constantly changing source and had no iso files and 
exploding them would be a lot of duplication for downloading.
I installed off of en ext3 partition containing the distro isos but used 
  the first installation CD to do so.
