[K12OSN] Network Install

[Petre Scheie]

I know the two directories contain different files; the i386 directory makes sense to 
me, as it just contains all the files that are contained on the CDs.   I guess what I'm 
really asking is why NFS exporting a directory with the ISO files works, since the 
individual files aren't broken out.
