Haven't tried this particualr scenario. So you are mounting the ISO on
another machine and then getting them via the network? Normally in this
situation, one would have all the RPM's in one location. You could try
doing a mininmal install so that RPM's from only the 1st CD are used, then
update later. Alternately you could copy all the RPM's from the ISO's to
a directory. I don't know of any way to tell the installer of 2 locations
for the RPM's.
