i see.  so you can't have a repository with the software available on
the network?

in the past i've used a laptop with a mirror of my Debian software and
installed it over the local network with just a starter disk.

could you chainload the isos?  maybe if you had an external harddrive
with the isos on it that might be an option.

i did this years ago with a RH install.  at the time i booted from a
floppy and had the isos on a second hard drive in the box.

while it might not help you with this particular situation it could be
an option for something later down the road.
