No, just that the *install* doesn't work. I copied the DVD to a 
directory available via http *or* nfs, and I was able to pull the stage2 
file with either protocol and verify the md5sum to prove the download 
worked. But the install ISO, either version, failed to work, even though 
the download appears to have been correct.

Works like a charm to get the data to a machine, but the HTTP access 
shows that it tried first to go to /disk1/images/stage2.img, then just 
images/stage2.img. However the download does work, install just down't 
use it right.
