For years now, I've just stuck an iso file into an exported NFS directory and installed with it. I tried that today and got the dreaded Directory could not be mounted from server message. So, I went to the installation guide and saw several other options that should be added. (In the appendix--it might be worth giving a link to that as the NFS guide just says prepare installation media, which is a bit frustrating, when you're trying to get it done as the significant other is speaking about how you have to leave early, etc., but that's not relevant, save for comic relief.) I then did a mount of the ISO with suggested options and still got the same error. (all the options listed in creating an installation server). So, I just copied all files from the mounted directory into another directory, e.g. cp -r mount/* installfiles. Now I have a directory called install files which has all files from the DVD. Using that as the target worked. I'm just wondering, as I haven't seen mention of this, is this one of those Just Me(TM) issues? Have other people, without much effort, done an NFS install from an iso image, whether mounted or not? Thanks, and again, this is minor as copying the files to another directory also exported by NFS easily solves the issue. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: Okay, this is starting to grate my cheese.
