I find it a pain that I have to mount and copy the ISO contents before I can do a HTTP install. Is there a good technical reason why the installer can't read the ISOs directly? The alternative would be to mount the ISOs on the web server as directories: mount -o loop SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-RC1-CD1.iso CD1 mount -o loop SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-RC1-CD2.iso CD2 mount -o loop SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-RC1-CD3.iso CD3 mount -o loop SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-RC1-CD4.iso CD4 mount -o loop SUSE-10.0-CD-OSS-x86_64-RC1-CD5.iso CD5 Also there is no baby ISO or floppy IMG to burn to do the boot before a HTTP/FTP install. Note lots of modern m/cs don't have floppy drives, so CD is the only removable media device from which to boot.
