There are no CDs involved, despite what the message says.

All CDs were copied to /home/Suse9/installroot/.....
and remounted to /installroot with the mount --bind command

Do not use one CD each time... download all the CD on
your HD and then try to configure the NFS server.

Where most of my time, I've tried installing Suse
9.0 with SMB (to no
avail), I'm trying a NFS install this weekend (with
NFS on my Suse 9.0
laptop).

I got the following


1 nfs
192.168.99.210
installroot

warning: can't open /etc/fstab: No such file or

directory

lockd: failed to open /var/lib/nfs/state: err=-2
CD not mounted. Please check parameters.
Please specify the installation Source:

When I exit the install, do a "mkdir temp" and issue: "mount -t nfs 192.168.99.210:/installroot temp", that seems to work. Well, I can do a LS on temp and see the files back on my laptop.

My guess, is the NFS server hasn't setup or
authorized directories properly.

I created the /installroot directory on the root
drive with suse9 and
core9 next....etc.

Per the RELEASE NOTES, during the install, I just
need to specify the
directory "installroot".  Since this seems to be
relative directory, I'm
not sure NFS would know where the subdirectory
resides.

The /etc/exports on the NFS server has:

/installroot/ *(ro,root_squash,sync)

That would seem to jive with what I see when I try a manual mount, but I'm not sure that this is what the Suse 9.0 install needs.

The Suse 9.0 installation really doesn't talk much
about the NFS server,
just part of the directory structure that it needs.

Now, it may be that my root directory /installroot
may have to be a real
structure.  The actual install files are on
/home/Suse9/installroot/sles9.... and accessed as:

mount --bind /home/Sues9/installroot /installroot

Any ideas on a proper NFS setup.

Thanks
