Error while configuring software selection. Please try again!

Today I use same autoinst.xml file with CD as the source media and it works ok that's mean there is no problem with the autoinst.xml file. But I need to figure out with NFS server as source media. Apparently there is some problems with my server setup. Here what I did to setup my nfs server that works ok last week and does not work now and giving error "Error while configuring software selection. Please try again!" 1: make a directory in my NFS server mkdir /jds/install 2: copy all required 3 cds to this directory for CD#1 mount /media/cdrom cd /media/cdrom cp -va . /jds/install/ for CD#2 after umounting cdrom mount /media/cdrom cd /media/cdrom cp -va . /jds/install/ for CD#3 after umounting cdrom mount /media/cdrom cd /media/cdrom cp -va . /jds/install/ 3: edit /etc/exports file in NFS server and add /jds/install *(ro) 4: run exportfs -r 5:run nfsserver daemon and can mount the /jds/install from any client machine did not run create_package_descr to recreate the packages as don't have clear idea how to do that. Once tried but giving warning bad rpm. Is anything wrong with this setup? and why the error is coming? Help will be appreciated. monir _________________________________________________________________ Looking to buy a new house? Try http://property.ninemsn.com.au/

3: edit /etc/exports file in NFS server and add /jds/install *(ro)
4: run exportfs -r
5:run nfsserver daemon and can mount the /jds/install from any client machine
I setup my NFS installation environment by using the SuSE YaST2 Installation server module (instserver) This worked really well, and when it was done, I just added an exports line, restarted NFS and everything worked. I believe that this can even add the exports line for you. As I am installing from a Red Hat server, I did this installserver creation on my 9.1 desktop from the SLES RC1 CD's and then rsync'd all of that to the installation server. Hope that helps, -- Wayne Pascoe
