See above. You also need to consider where the kickstart file will go. If it's on a floppy disk, all well and good. If it's on the NFS server, you'll need to export that directory, although it can be a single mountpoint, e.g.: /vol/redhat/rh73/RedHat/RPMS /vol/redhat/rh73/base /vol/redhat/kickstart could all be exported by one line: /vol/redhat *(ro) Cheers, Phil
