First off, read the README.  It will tell you that you cannot simply
share out the CDs via NFS.  You must dump all the contents of both
CDs into a directory and share that out via NFS.

Although that might seem an "inconvience," it is actually a
blessing.  You can mix in updates and other packages (like Ximian). 
Very sweet indeed.

My notebook has a updated RedHat 7.1 + SGI XFS 1.0.1 + Ximian Gnome
1.4 install ready-to-go at a moments notice.  I keep a few pre-made
bootnet CDs with me, along with a crossover cable.  I can setup
Linux on any arbitrary system with a NIC in a matter of minutes.
