I finally got it installed using a nfs share to the isos. I read about it on an earlier post: <table style="width: 100%;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td class="cbln"> </td></tr></tbody></table>Petre Scheie said: "Or put the ISO files you used to create the CDs into a directory on a server, NFS-export that directory, boot the new machine with CD1 and enter 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt, choose the NFS install method, and point it at the server with the ISO images. Once you get the hang of this approach, all others pale." He was slightly off, but helped out bigtime nonetheless. I just changed 'text' to 'askmethod' after pressing tab on the second option. (I didn't pay attention to whether it would work doing something similar with the first option, I just know this way worked.

Having just a repo and a collection of scripts/GUIs would possibly even make it easier for us to help contribute.
