Greetings; I have a dir on this machine that contains all 9 of the FC3 iso images, and I've setup a server: line in my fstab, and setup the /etc/exports file to export that dir to any address in the 192.168.xx.xx block I *think* I have the exports for nfs setup correctly. I've even rebooted. On this machine, a showmount -e shows this: [root@coyote root]# showmount -e [root@coyote etc]# showmount -e Export list for coyote.coyote.den: /usr/dlds-misc/FC3 192.168.71.0/255.255.255.0 And on another box as client for machine coyote: [root@gene root]# showmount -e coyote Export list for coyote: /usr/dlds-misc/FC3 192.168.71.0/255.255.255.0 But I cannot connect with the NFS choice on the machine I'm trying to install FC3 on. And at the point in the install, there is no other shell available, so all I can see is the cannot connect messages once I've filled in the address of this box and the path on this box to those iso's. So at this point I have no idea if the network driver the installer has loaded is wrong or what. However, the box is sitting down there with the error message on screen, and I can ping it just fine: PING shop.coyote.den (192.168.71.4) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from shop.coyote.den (192.168.71.4): icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.330 ms 64 bytes from shop.coyote.den (192.168.71.4): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.103 ms 64 bytes from shop.coyote.den (192.168.71.4): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.097 ms 64 bytes from shop.coyote.den (192.168.71.4): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.100 ms 64 bytes from shop.coyote.den (192.168.71.4): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.097 ms telnet and ssh both are refused. Does anyone have a clue to loan me? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
