First, anaconda does not run rpcbind, so you have to fire that up: service rpcbind start I mount a directory at installation time which I later use, so in my kickstart %post section, I add it to fstab, like so: # Adjust to suit! echo "charlesc:/crc/isos/f7 /mnt/nfs nfs _netdev,ro 0 0" >> /etc/fstab Which makes the next line possible: mount /mnt/nfs > Does Anaconda/Kickstart write its errors anywhere? You can specify a log file, e.g. for a non-chroot %post section: %post --log=/mnt/sysimage/root/post.install.log If you don't want to go the fstab route, and starting rpcbind doesn't do it for you, you might specify the file sytem type in the mount command. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
