+There are basically 2 methods for dowloading the distribution's images:
  * Mirror what is already available at another Quattor site, for example http://quattorsrv.lal.in2p3.fr/packages/os (there is one directory per OS version/architecture combination), in a directory served by Apache, for example `/var/www/html/packages/os/`. You can use `wget --mirror` to mirror this reference site.
-  * Copy the distribution from a CD or an ISO image into a directory served by Apache , for example `/var/www/html/packages/os/`.  When using an ISO image, it is possible to mount it with `mount -o bind` and use it directly in Apache (by mounting under the the directory mentionned before) but this is not recommended as it is often necessary to tweak a little bit the distribution, in particular to properly support gLite compatibity mode.

 When the distribution is ready on your RPM server (Apache server), you need to add the boot files used for the PXE installation. They consist in 2 files (`vmlinuz`and `initrd.img`) generally located in `images/pxeboot` directory of the distribution. You need to copy these files in a directory specific to the OS version/architecture located in the  same directory as the `pxelinux.cfg` directory (see variable `AII_NBP_DIR` configured at the [#ConfigurationofAII previous step]).  The directory name must have the usual form with all `-` replaced by `_` (eg. sl530_X86_64).
