Installing FC4 over HTTP


I have 4 ISOs to FC4, but I don't have 4 CDs here to use up, and I prefer not to given the rate at once linux gets updated. What would be the process of setting it up so I can install it over the network? I have winISO to get to the actual files. Is it as easy as copying all the files to a folder on the web server and pointing to that server/folder during the net install? Or does it need to be structured a specific way?

I heard of NFS, but I currently don't have time to learn how to set it up on my debian box but something I'll probably look into at some point.

Sweet it is in fact that easy. Got it installed, and it was WAY faster than using CDs.

However, how do I go about installing a package that I forgot to install? when I go back to setup it does not let me choose packages, just goes straight to the install. And if I go to add/remove on the system itself, it just asks for the disc and does not let me use a different method.
