| Please help.
I run a few computers in a network, among others a small one, an old 80486,
with only a diskette and a hard-disk. It ran Slackware 2.0.34, but that's
rather old. I'd like to install RedHat 7.0 and I'm trying to do so by
performing a
network install (NFS). My local domain is .prodeo. There are three boxes,
jacob, levi and benjamin. benjamin is the small one.
On jacob, I made a directory /RH7/RedHat and copied all the stuff from the
two binary CD's /RedHat directories there.
Next, I created an entry in the /etc/exports file, as follows:
/RH7/RedHat/ *.prodeo(rw)
I tried this from levi.prodeo and I am able to mount from there, no
problems.
Now I start benjamin from the netboot.img diskette and configure my eth0.
When asked I specify the ip address for jacob (where the nfs-install
directory is located).
The systems do recognize this action, jacob gives me a console message:
Aug 25 21:15:23 jacob rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request \
from benjamin.prodeo:611 for /RH7/RedHat (/RH7/RedHat)
This is the same message as I get from levi with a successful mount.
However, benjamin (in the NFS installation process) gives me a message box
stating:
"I could not mount that directory from the server"
Does anyone know what to do next? I'm out of options...
