What's the best way to setup the repository of files from 5.4-RELEASE
for NFS installation purposes?

In earlier releases, because we usually had CDs/ISOs laying around,
we'd simply dump the entirety of -disc1 onto the NFS server's exported
filesystem and the right thing happened during installs.

With 5.4, I dumped -disc1 onto the NFS server, but was prompted for
the next disc to get perl package(s?).  So I dumped -disc2 into the
same place on the NFS server, but sysinstall continued to prompt for
the next disc on subsequent attempts.

I'm thinking I must not be getting (parts of?) -disc2 into the right
place, and/or need to update a table-of-contents file, or something
equally simple.

Hints appreciated.

Cheers,
sr.
