[K12OSN] K12LTSP 7.0 crash on install

[Peter Scheie]

Or put the ISO files you used to create the CDs into a directory on a 
server, NFS-export that directory, boot the new machine with CD1 and 
enter 'linux askmethod' at the boot prompt, choose the NFS install 
method, and point it at the server with the ISO images.  Once you get 
the hang of this approach, all others pale.
