Thanks,that worked, to an extent. The problem now is that the installer
is looking for the file in:

	/mnt/source/./RedHat/RPMS

but the second disk has the next files in:
	
	/cdrom/RedHat/RedHat/RPMS	# extra "RedHat"

with no apparent provision for changing the directory
in the installer.

I guess I could just concantenate both disks into one
directory on the NFS server hard drive.
