replace cdrom with your loop device (see Craigs posting)
eg.
# mkdir /mnt/loop
1; # mount -oloop FC4-test1-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/loop
2; # cp -a /mnt/loop/Fedora /target/directory
3; # cp /mnt/loop/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory (Do this only for
disc 1)
4; # umount /mnt/loop
repeat 1,2,4 with all isos or with the isos/rpms you really need for
your installation
minimal-english = cd #1
you know whichcd ?
eg. under fedora core 3
$ /usr/share/comps-extras/whichcd.py mozilla
mozilla-1.7.3-17.i386.rpm is on disc 2
If you need more than the first disc, a way to avoid all the cp'ing
would be to download the dvd iso, and use it in place of the four cd
isos for the network install. [I'll try this next time].
# mount -o loop -t iso9660 FC4-test1-i386-dvd.iso /mnt/loop
and then do the nfs, http etc install in what ever configuration
[minimal, server, desktop, custom] you'd like.
