I just configured my system here yesterday to do network installs using
PXE of 8.2. The method I used to do it was:
mkdir /spare1/8.2
cp -avf /mnt/cdrom /spare1/8.2
(eject cd1 and put in cd2)
cp -avf /mnt/cdrom /spare1/8.2
(eject cd2 and put in cd3)
cp -avf /mnt/cdrom /spare1/8.2
( edit /etc/proftpd.conf or /etc/exports to add to make that path )
( accessible via the network )
cp /spare1/8.2/images/network.img /var/lib/tftpboot/PXEClient/images/8.2
( edit /var/lib/tftpboot/PXEClient/pxelinux.cfg/default to add )
( that target and path )
The last command and edit sequence are for PXE booting only, so in your
case, you would only need to configure NFS or Anonymous FTP to access
it.
