It could be, but I wouldn't know what to look for. It's a 100 Mbps
ethernet LAN, using Samba (the ISO images are on an XP machine). If
Samba is a problem, I could try NFS. The setup works under XP (although
strangely, it seems a lot more demanding on the PC to read DVDs from a
network than from a local drive - I thought it would be the other way
around).

When I was using a Windows package (Virtual-CD), I had to turn off
read-ahead caching on the CD-ROM drives. No idea if this is an issue
here.

Anyway, the output and error I get is usually
