If the ISOs are on the same PC, you can even go without NFS-Server. Start the 
installation from the first CD (you can take alpha1 CD). Bevor performing the 
real installation switch with Alt-F2 to console and create a directory for 
the loop-mount of CD1

mkdir /CD1

make a directory for the partition, where the ISOs are and loopmount it

mkdir /isos

mount -o loop /isos/SUSE.... /CD1

eject the CD and switch to the Installation (Alt-F1/F7?). YaST will now 
complain, that there is no CD in the drive. Mark the option 'Show details' 
and change the URL to

dir:///CD1

After reboot, you have to do the same for CD2, CD3, CD4 and CD5. It sounds 
more complex, than it really is and installation is very fast this way.

Marcel
