But for that you have to unpack the isos. With nfs you can just
download the isos somewhere, burn the first one or make a USB
boot drive image and you are set. Generally if you are testing
through a set of betas, you can rename the iso files to the next
version, use rsync to quick update them and the same boot CD will
install the next beta/rc/final so you don't need a new one until
the next release cycle.
