Not an option in this case as there are all 'real' computers (not PCs)
and the drives don't look to be easily removable, and the one with the
DVD drive is in production use (those pesky users again).

But the NFS install worked well.

Another interesting note I forgot to mention is that NFS mounting the
actual DVD worked,  but NFS mounting a directory into which I had 'cp -R
/media/cdrecorder/* /var/suse91/' didn't work.  It was "unable to load
image".  I did the copy again, and got the same thing,  then I tried
from the DVD itself, and it worked.  Didn't spend much time trying to
figure out the why.
