yes, I understand that but my question concerns how to boot.  you see if I
boot from the disc I burnt from the ISO (which is screwed) then the
installer will attempt to install the files it knows to be in disc 1 from
the CD, even though I'm doing a network install - which means that even if I
have the right filenames on the ftp site, it won't read them because it
prefers to read from the CD and thus fails.
