The network install methods are: nfs, ftp, http, nfsiso, httpdisc, and 
ftpdisc.

- nfs, ftp, and http installs work off of a unified tree (All rpms in a 
single tree) that is accessible via the given protocol.

- nfsiso works off of an nfs directory containing the isos (and nothing 
else!).  No other network install method can use raw isos.

- ftpdisc and httpdisc work off of a directory containing the split tree 
(one subdirectory per disc).  So you might point the installer at 
http://myserver/Severn/discs/ where the discs directory contains 
subdirectories disc1, disc2, and disc3 which themselves contain the 
contents of the three discs.  The idea behind these methods is that you 
can loopback mount the three isos on your server, make those mountpoint 
accessible via ftp or http, and run a network install off of that.
