Hi, I'm confused. How do I add "nfsvers=2" to the mount command? My server is a RedHat Linux 7.2 computer. Here's what it's /etc/exports entry looks like for my kickstart files: /usr/local/admin/kickstart/dist 131.215.186.0/255.255.255.0(ro) The same exact laptop that won't install over a cable modem installs perfectly when I schlep it in to work so that it's on the same subnet. Plus, it correctly mounts the ks.cfg file from server:/usr/local/admin/kickstart/dist/configs so I know that nfs is partially working.
