Thanks to all who replied. The fix was to stop the firewall on the Linux NFS server.

Is the firewall running on the SLES10 desktop? If so, try shutting it down. If that makes things work, then use YaST to allow NFS as one of the permitted services. > Do I need to export the sub-directories? You should not have to, unless you have multiple file systems (or CD images) mounted below the top-level directory. -snip- > I would appreciate any advice (but please remember that I am a Linux novice > and do not understand all of the jargon). Are you able to use a protocol other than NFS? I personally prefer using HTTP when I'm having problems getting to my install server. If not, then try doing an SSH install. Before starting YaST, try pinging the installation server. If that doesn't work, then you need to fix that. Once that does work, then try to telnet to port 111 on the installation server. Repeat as needed.
