Yes, it appears that discs 1, 2, and 3 hold RPMS, disc 1 holds critical
install bits (floppy images, utilities for repartitioning, the actual
install stuff, etc.) and that 3, 4 and 5 hold SRPMS.  (4 and 5 consisting
only of SRPMS)

http://mirror.nblug.org/redhat/8.0/en/os/i386/ is done via some tricky
loopback stuff, but it *should* work for a network install; it has *not*
been tested.  You can look in
http://mirror.nblug.org/redhat/8.0/en/os/i386/.disc1/ (replace disc1 with
disc2, 3, 4 or 5 to see those) to see the actual contents of the individual
discs.
