In my case, I mounted the disc1 iso with

mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/2/FC4-test1-i386-disc1.iso /home/cwt/fc4

then ran the nfs install with custom>minimal.

After that, 

yum --exclude=gnome-applets --exclude=gnome-pilot groupinstall "GNOME
Desktop Environment"

[yum is much faster on successive runs, bravo]

Then, for some reason, I had to start the font server[?]

service xfs start

[also manually added user per some other posts
useradd cwt
passwd cwt
]

then a login via cwt and startx works, yet to install anything else to
play with :)

was easy, but not sure how to explode all four iso's into an nfs
share...?

Didn't try, but would suspect these fail for same failed loopback as the
iso nfs install, but really no idea.
