For recent releases, you're probably better off just dropping the ISO
images in a directory for most NFS installs.  For ftp and http, you can
have the isos and loopback mount into disc1, disc2, and disc3 subdirs. 
Then you only have to use the disc space for the ISOs instead of ISOs
and tree.

You can't do the loopback mount and symlink trick for NFS due to how
exports work (would require 3 separate exports and 3 separate mounts and
some other weirdness)
