article wanted me to put them.  I have no idea (because I have not looked
yet) what I would have to change to just mount them for use by the PXE
server.  And since there could be many such .iso's to mount are there any
limits on the number of mounts, or mounted files, or ....  One might need to
mount on demand to reduce some resource usage.  There is so much to learn I
could almost wish I was 20 again. --- Nah, bad idea!
