I have a slightly different symptom in my experience. I added a directory under /mnt and ran a 'mount -t nfs...' command on it, and it hung. Hung for minutes on end, eventually failing entirely. I'm not sure if I'm missing some mount options or something. I've read an assortment of popular HOWTO's and the 7.3 docs cd customization guide. I still don't have this working. The idea is to add webmin and a couple custom packages, and to go ahead and 'rpm -Fvh' from a share full of update packages. I can't get it to work, at all. I'd love to see anyone's %post section who's getting this done. -j (digest subscriber) -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jason Kohles Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 12:33 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Mount in %post section of RH73 On Mon, 2003-01-06 at 13:24, Philip Rowlands wrote: > On Mon, 6 Jan 2003, Eric GOUNOT wrote: > > >I've took the bootnet.img image to make my floppy installation.
