No, you just have a directory hierarchy like the following -> somedir -> disc1 -> disc2 -> disc3 And list somedir as your dir to install from. Since you've loopback mounted the isos, then under disc1, etc, you'll have a RedHat dir. > and the info for the NFS ISO approach is even skimpier -- > doesn't mention directory names at all. is there more detail > elsewhere? The NFS ISO method doesn't even require loopback mounting... just put the discs in a directory (named *-disc1.iso, *-disc2.iso, etc as they are on the ftp site) and they get loopback mounted from over NFS. Note that you need to have a different directory of ISOs for each release you want to install in this fashion. Cheers, Jeremy
