Further investigation has got me this far. If I run

redhat-config-packages --isodir=/path/to/version/iso/images

the installer starts, it shows the images but there are a couple of
problems;

1. The main scroll bar does not work, ie you cannot scroll down to see
packages other than what is immediatly displayed.

2. Taking an example. If I select Engineering and Scientific, and then
deselect all packages other than units.  Click on update.

I get the following error message;

The following packages could not be found. Installation cannot continue
until they are installed.

Unlocated package libartsc.so.O

There may be more, but again the scroll function does not work on this
window.
