Network install

[Jerry Feldman]

Kind of a hypothetical situation.
The CD/DVD drive on my laptop is not currently working. For about 6 months 
most of the time when booting the manufacturer name is garbled, such a 
Poshiva or something as bizzarre. I want to install SuSE 7.3, which has 7 
CDs and 1 DVD. My desktop does not have a DVD so I was thining:

Mount the DVD on my wife's Windows system, and copy the contents to my 
desktop hard drive, that has plenty of space. Will that work for a network 
install assuming I have an NFS server up and running on the desktop.(Or an 
ftp server). I'd rather not copy or mount all 7 CD-ROMS. 

Anyhow, it's easier to ask and get people's experiences before spending the 
time. --
