Here is my sample /etc/export: /opt/download/FC7/Fedora-7-i386 192.168.1.0/24(ro,insecure,all_squash) If you are running 64 bit, then it can also go in this directory or wherever you want. Just make sure the the ISO image is the only file and the directory name is in /etc/exports Once you've created the /etc/exports file then issue "sudo /sbin/service/nfs restart" Then to ensure that you can export the directory, issue the command "sudo /usr/sbin/exportfs -a -v" You should now see your directory as defined in /etc/exports. Now I run a very secure network, I run IPCOP and also have SELINUX and the Firewall turned on. Now since NFS is unencrypted, it is blocked by IPTables by default. In order to make sure I could do a NFS install, I turned off the firewall on the system that had the ISO. You should now be able to mount it.. If the firewall is not off, you will see a "No path error". Now boot with your rescue CD and select upgrade. It will then go through a few screens and ask the method. Select NFS and fill in the blanks... HTH -- Ed Gurski <ed@xxxxxxxxxx>
