Export /mnt/cdrom or whatever it is on your system as a NFS share. Then do a network install (NFS) pointing it to the shared folder. I've done the same thing a few times in the past months. If you're sharing from a laptop, though, you might want to copy everything to the harddrive first as that'll spare you all the DVD drive's spin-up time. Miark
