When did you do the manual mount? sorry to not be more clear, It is an additional step in setting up the nfs share. I did the manual mount of the iso on the nfs server [to explode the iso into files/directories] prior to starting the install. During the install nothing is done differently. On the nfs sever: 1 $mkdir /path/2/fc4 2 $mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/2/FC4-test1-i386-disc1.iso /path/2/fc4 3 export /path/2/fc4 as nfs share [/path/2/fc4 192.168.1.*(ro,sync)] service nfs restart On the install target 4 linux askmethod at promopt 5 continue with nfs minimal install as normal. 6 then I used yum to install GNOME, with some excludes for missing dependencies in rawhide [YMMV]. yum --exclude=gnome-applets --exclude=gnome-pilot groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment" 7 service xfs start [the X font server needs to be running for X to start] 8 some other posts suggested that first boot wont run, so I manually added a user besides root. I'm logged into X now, gawking at Native Eclipse and java...whoohoo. HTH, -- Craig Thomas <cjtinhp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
