Hello,

I'm giving a try to opensolaris. So I've downloaded the 6 iso images.

For Convenience, instead of burning all the CDs, I've just burn the 
first one and try to make an solaris *repository* on my linux box.

This solaris'repository was made by successively copying the 6 iso 
images (whom was mount like: mount -t iso9660 -o loop) into one directory.

#/bin/bash
#/media/opensolaris-11/57/* holds all the mount -t iso9660 -o loop

   for file in /media/opensolaris-11/57/* ;
     cp -dR file ./
     find ./ ! -perm  /u=w -ls -exec chmod u+w {} \;
   done


And now, I'm in a state where the opensolaris installation ask me for:
[ ] CD/DVD
[x] Network File System

after choosing NFS, it asks me for the NFS location:

<nfs_server>:/path_to_Solaris_11/

but it keeps on telling me :``ERROR: The directory you specified does 
not contain a valid Solaris OS Image''

I've mounted it successfully from a terminal in the opensolaris 
installation, just to check if my <nfs_server>:/path_to_Solaris_11 whas 
working.... and it works


if I do a ``ls -1'' of what is under ../Solaris_11
