Not any more... as of 7.1:
"Hard drive installations now require the use of the ISO (or CD-ROM)
images instead of just copying an entire installation tree. After
placing the required ISO images in a directory, choose to install from
the hard drive. You will then point the installation program at that
directory to perform the installation."
HOWEVER....
I found this gem in anaconda...
elif (method[0:8] == "oldhd://"):
So, I think if you tell the installer to use the "oldhd" method*, you
can copy the isos out into a directory, and use it the old way...
perhaps this would work. If you try it, copy the SGI CD last.

*not quite sure how to do this, probably "linux method=oldhd" at the
installer boot prompt...?
