Well, as far as mounting nfs partitions, that is no problem.  I run one
PIV system as rawhide client, that mounts 2 NFS dir's from an FC6
server.  That is fine, and even installing from FC6 iso's (via nfs) on
that same dir is fine.  But I mirror rawhide (from a mirror) and when
trying to do an install against the nfs rawhide tree (not iso's), it
doesn't work.

I guess maybe the question should be is the tree installable, or do you
have to currently use iso's for some reason.
