    But for that you have to unpack the isos. With nfs you can just
    download the isos somewhere, burn the first one or make a USB
    boot drive image and you are set. Generally if you are testing
    through a set of betas, you can rename the iso files to the next
    version, use rsync to quick update them and the same boot CD will
    install the next beta/rc/final so you don't need a new one until
    the next release cycle.
