The URL wanted is the same as the URL you would give to Anaconda if doing
an install off a network media source. eg, it should be a URL pointing to
the top level installation tree.

http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/x86_64/os/

To setup an NFS tree, copy the contents of all 5 ISO images into a directory
and then point to the top level directory - eg you basically want to get a
directory containing a copy of all the content at the URL i list above.
