Subject: Building a 7.3  NFS install tree

It seems 7.3 YAST2 has changed a little in what it expects for install
medium.

I rsync'd all 7 of my CDROMs to a NFS tree. I tried a NFS install, it
did disk1 just fine, but then insisted on asking me for disk3. suse 6.x
and 7.[0-2]. Nothing I could do to convince it that disk[2-7] were
actuall there in the NFS tree.

When I rsync the DVD to the NFS tree, then the install works.

I think the alice docs still suggest syncing all cdroms to one common
mount point. Is this no longer supported?
