If you meant "Tkil's", then let me amplify:

| for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do
|     mkdir /mnt/rh-8.0-$i
|     mount -o ro,isofs,loop /xfer/rh-8.0-$i.iso /mnt/rh-8.0-$i
| done
| 
| cd /var/www/htdocs
| mkdir RedHat
| cd RedHat
| ln -s /mnt/rh-8.0-1/base .
| mkdir RPMS
| ln -s /mnt/rh-8.0-?/RPMS/*.rpm RPMS
| mkdir SRPMS
| ln -s /mnt/rh-8.0-?/RPMS/*.rpm SRPMS

After that, you should be able to get a RedHat network installer to
see those RPMs by selecting an HTTP install, giving the host name or
address, and a directory specification of just "/".

I can double-check this when I get home; the above is from memory.
(And I think I did things a bit more manually than the above "script"
would indicate...)
