[K12OSN] Network Install

[Petre Scheie]

Hmm, I may have to eat my words.  I just tried to start an install of 4.4.1 using 
askmethod, choosing http, and pointing it at 
http://sunsite.utk.edu/ftp/pub/linux/k12ltsp/4.4.1/iso/
But then the installer says

"Failed to retrieve /ftp/pub/linux/k12ltsp/4/4/1/iso/Fedora/base/hdlist: File not found 
on server"

I assumed that it would work the same way as installing via NFS, where you just have to 
point it at an exported directory containing the ISO files.  Can anyone confirm or deny 
whether this should work the same over http?
