It's not necessary to present all the RPMS in a single tree.  Mounting
as disc1/ disc2/ and disc3/ should be sufficient.

| 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...)
