In the "images" directory of the DVD is a file called boot.iso. Burn that image to a CD and use it to boot the installer on your target machines. You will need to set up an NFS server on one of your machines. Do you still have the DVD ISO image you downloaded to create your DVD? If so, all you need to do is NFS-export the directory containing that ISO image. Let's say your server is called "myserver", and the DVD ISO image is /home/me/downloads/FC3-i386-DVD.iso on that server. Create a file /etc/exports on myserver containing the following line: /home/me/downloads *(ro,all_squash,sync) Then, start up the NFS services: # service portmap start # service nfslock start # service nfs start You should now be able to see your NFS export: # showmount -e myserver /home/me/downloads * This should work from any client on your LAN. If it doesn't work, try turning off any firewalls you have on server and client. Now, boot your client using the CD you created earlier and select NFS as the install method. The server is myserver and the directory is /home/me/downloads Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
