Since I have the ISOs on the server, rather than unpack them I loop 
mount them under fedora/[1-5].  Supposedly the installer knows how to 
handle a repository divided that way but when I tested it with FC5 it 
would choke looking for a package that was under fedora/2.

Maybe that's easy to fix, maybe a bug in the installer (which I pulled 
off the CD and stuck in PXE), or maybe it's just too wierd a setup.

How do you set up your RPM repository for net installs?
