We can't do ISO installs with HTTP and FTP because you can't stream the data like you can with NFS. You would have to pull the entire ISO into memory at one time before you could use it. Very few people have enough ram to make this possible. We do not support installs through proxy servers and have to plans to. I recommmend that you download the ISO images and do either cdrom or hard drive installs. |
