in /etc/exports:
for example:
/media/dvd 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (rw,async)
then:
rcnfsserver start
exportfs -v -a
Client:
mount 192.168.0.1:/media/dvd /mnt
192.168.0.1 if it is your servers ip address.

There is probably a way to do this, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I want to share my dvd over NFS. If I put this in /etc/exports I get an error saying that I don't have permission from the server when I try to mount it on a client: /media/dvd *(sync,root_squash,ro)
Can this be made to work?

Hi Steven,
I have successfully used NFS to share my DVD drive. I have 3 PC's, but only 1 has a DVD drive, so I wanted to install SuSE 9.2 on the other 2 PC's and couldn't be bothered to use the 5 CD's and have to change them all the time.
All I did was put the DVD in the drive and use YaST to great the NFS share... That was it.
I have used this NFS share to install SuSE on the other 2 PC's no problems and also install additional updates..
I'm just a beginner, so I didn't do anything fancy, just went with the defaults.
Hope this helps,
Martin
