Looks like the NFS code in the PXE kernel is quite b0rked.

Well...it looks like http method has promise; the installation gets
through about 12% finished (1.2G) and at that point estimates 28 minutes
for the installation (which is what I'd expect). However, the
installation then hangs. Dropping to a shell on the installing system,
anaconda is using
The package it's listing on the screen while it hangs is
xorg-x11-drv-dmc-1.1.0-2-x86_64, status 100%.
As far as I know, the progress bar is for the copy portion only; so this
would indicate that the package was downloaded, but that it's hanging
running the rpm -i portion.
I've tried twice

Yes, though I don't have many

I've noticed it being slower but I have (perhaps wrongly) assumed
