I downloaded the F7 DVD to this computer, made /media/iso and did the

Then using the "rescue disk" on another computer I attempt to start an
install. I have tried both NFS and FTP neither of have been able to
"see" this box[6] 192.168.1.6.
The box[10] to be installed to presently runs Centos 4.4 and I can FTP
between the boxes without a problem and view the /media/iso directory.
If I tell it to do an NFS install it requests "NFS Server Name"
[192.168.1.6] and the "Fedora directory" [/media/iso] which seems
logical to me.
That yields an error message "That directory could not be mounted from
the server."
NFS is running:
service nfs status
rpc.mountd (pid 28393) is running...
nfsd (pid 28390 28389 28388 28387 28386 28385 28384 28383) is running...
rpc.rquotad (pid 28376) is running...
What am I doing wrong?
Bob,
On the computer hosting the /media/iso directories, what does
"exportfs" tell you? If you don't see it in the export list, you will
have to add it to your /etc/exports file, then do a "exportfs -a". The
entry in /etc/exports should look like:
/media/iso *(ro)
I created /etc/exports containing only the following line:
/media/iso *(ro)
Then I get:
exportfs
/media/iso <world>
Which looks hopeful but the error message keeps coming up,
"That directory could not be mounted from
the server."
I did service nfs restart after making changes ...
I'm still missing something?
