Well, I'm booting off the network so I don't use boot.iso.  But I use 
the same vmlinuz and initrd.img as the CD does.

That sounds cool but I don't see it using http.  The installer requests 
disc1/images/minstg2.img and that's what kicks things off.  If I point 
it to a place with the ISOs it still requests the .img and complains 
when it gets the 404.  I wonder what I'm missing?
