Re: Install over NFS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



You may want to try the following command from a UNIX system to verify the export is working:

/usr/sbin/showmount -e <host ip>

In your case the above should something like the following:

/nfs  10.10 ....

If not, verify NFS is running on the host you are try to export from. Also you may want to shutoff the firewall (/sbin/service iptables stop) for testing and try again.

Also, please clarify the command you are using to get to the nfs server, such as

linux ks=nfs:<host>:/nfs/<somepath> ksdevice=eth0 ....

I'm trying to install FC5T2 over nfs. I googled and several sites say
to just make an nfs share and dump the dvd iso file in there and you
are good to go.

I've tried this on my machine and I can't seem to connect to it with
my laptop. I keep getting an error stating that the mountpoint doesn't
seem to be a Fedora Core Installation Tree.

my /etc/exports has just one line

/nfs 10.10.10.0/24(ro,sync)

which I have dropped the FC5 iso into. I didn't put the md5sum file though.

And on my laptop I'm trying to install to I have my ip for the nfs
server and the directory is just /nfs and I've tried it a few times
and can't seem to get it to go.

Any ideas? I don't have a DVD drive for the laptop to burn it to.

Thanks.
