Network Install using the Everything directory tree

Hi,

 

I have just joined the list so if this has been asked and answered
previously I apologise.

 

I was wondering if it is supposed to be possible to do  network install with
a boot disk, using the 'Everything'  packages rather than the standard 'OS'
online directories?

I have previously locally mirrored the 'OS' directory structure on a machine
inside my network in order to do network install to multiple machines. I
have mirrored the 'Everything' packages rather than the standard 'OS' as I
usually have utilise packages from the directories previously known as
'Extras'.

However the 'Everything' directory tree does not contain the 'images' or the
'isolinux' sub-directories required for installation.

 

Does this mean that I need to retrieve the standard 'OS' directory for
installations, and also the 'Everything' for ongoing maintenance?

Alternatively, can I simply add the necessary sub-directories (of 'images'
and 'isolinux') to the directory tree of 'Everything' - or will this fail or
even break something?  

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

David
