Well, as far as mounting nfs partitions, that is no problem. I run one PIV system as rawhide client, that mounts 2 NFS dir's from an FC6 server. That is fine, and even installing from FC6 iso's (via nfs) on that same dir is fine. But I mirror rawhide (from a mirror) and when trying to do an install against the nfs rawhide tree (not iso's), it doesn't work. I guess maybe the question should be is the tree installable, or do you have to currently use iso's for some reason. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Sex is like air, it's not important unless your not getting any!" -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
