Thoughts? > Thanks, I just did an upgrade using NFS, and I had no problems. I used the rescue CD to boot the target machine, not CD 1. In exports: /misc/isos/fc3.isos 192.168.10.0/24(ro,no_root_squash,sync) and stop NFS entirely, then restart it. Also, I had the rescue CD image in the directory with the four main CDs. I don't know if the last was required or not, but that's my setup. ls /misc/isos/fc3.isos/ FC3-i386-disc1.iso FC3-i386-disc2.iso FC3-i386-disc3.iso FC3-i386-disc4.iso FC3-i386-rescuecd.iso MD5SUM My NFS host is an FC1 machine. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
