This may not be completely off topic, it could be peculiar to the cooker or even to Mandrake; I haven't tried to do this in a long time and I was suprised to find out it wouldn't work: Is there some switch that prevents exporting a CDROM under NFS?
I have a box I've just upgraded to pentium, and I want to replace RH7.0 with Mandrake using the network install (it has no CDROM and I only need disk1) When I try to nfs mount the remote CD, I get mount: maya:/mnt/cdrom failed, reason given by server: Permission denied yet, /mnt/cdrom is in the exports list with correct net masks: /mnt/cdrom 192.168.70.0/255.255.255.0(ro) Is it un-exportable because of supermount? /mnt/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom type supermount (rw,dev=/dev/cdrom,fs=iso9660) -- Gary Lawrence Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> TeleDynamics Communications Inc What happens on Groundhog Day? http://www.teledyn.com/fun/GroundhogDay "There are many things which do not concern the process" --- Joan of Arc
