I'm trying to install F7 via NFS from
"F-7-x86_64-DVD.iso" on an FC5 server.
I'm booting the F7 machine off of a CD containing "boot.iso"
from the above F-7 .iso.
For the "Installation Method" menu I choose "NFS directory."
On the Configure TCP/IP menu I disable IPv6 support
and choose DHCP for IPv4 support. It sends a request
for IP info and returns w/o error.
It then asks for the server IP address and the diretory mount.
When I enter these and hit "OK" it returns with
"That directory could not be mounted fromt the server."
What am I doing wrong?
Here's some extra info:
On the FC-5 server:
I have the "F-7-x86_64-DVD.iso" mounted on /mnt/cdrom2
I have iptables turned off (I'm behind a corporate Firewall).
I have the following line:
/mnt/cdrom2 *(ro,async,no_root_squash)
in /etc/exports and nfs services are running.
Finally, I can mount, unmount, and look inside /mnt/cdrom2
from an FC6 laptop on the network.
(A side question: when the boot.iso first boots and I
get to the "Welcome to Fedora" menu with the four
choices, my USB keyboard acts like it's dead: I can't
change the choices or get it to boot w/o waiting for
the 60 second timeout. Luckily the choice it's on is
the one I want :-) Any fixes?)
