Marko, I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Are you trying to install Red Hat Linux into a laptop via NFS? If so, how come you are using Linuxconf from the laptop? Perhaps just testing it? We need to know what error message is the client getting, and also what error you see on the server side. First of all, try running the following command from the laptop (as root): mount server:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom This assumes that you also mounted the CD-ROM under /mnt/cdrom on the server side. Now, what error do you get from this command? What do you see in the /var/log/messages file on the server when running the command? Other things you can do from the laptop too: /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -p server /usr/sbin/showmount -e server What output are you getting from these? Did you run the 'exportfs -s' on the server after setting it all up? Are you sure the server is running both the portmapper and the nfsd? -- Nitebirdz Mozilla--> http://www.mozilla.org/ Linux XFS--> http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
