Rob, > David, thanks for that; it will be useful on the day. Is the last line of > your message the entry to be added to /etc/exports?
No. That is a list of the different types of installations you can do. In your case I am recommending either NFS from another Linux box, or SMB from a Windows host. If you choose to do an NFS install, then the simplest (but not very secure) entry you can put in your /etc/exports file is: /install *(ro) Where /install is the directory you copied the DVD to. I guess if you didn't want to copy the DVD to your hard drive, you could mount your DVD and changed that to: /mnt/dvd *(ro) Once you have saved /etc/exports, you will need to run: exportfs -av Then shove the mini-installation CD into the PC that you want to do the install on, and boot it up. Select NFS from the menu at the bottom of the screen. Tell it the address of the NFS server and the directory that you exported. The rest of the install should go as normal. -- Later David Kirk ** Beware the dreaded GMail reply-to header if replying to this message **
