I would love to see this fixed - I will try to make a copy of the DVD, however it is not possible to do an NFS install in 11.1 as we all know -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Text does now not load default drivers and you will have to supply every drivers. I had complete success using NFS text installation in all the version 10.n. But in all the 11.n Installations I have not discovered which default drivers I need to load for text NFS. Also the text installation remembers values previously entered - thats normal but when I see the exported directory being transposed into the search domain DNS Server fields I am worried - I cannot get a NFS Installation to work correctly on X_64 hardware in ALL 11.n Installations and the issue you clearly noted in comment #1 is not acceptable. To have an software installation dependent on differing hardware media is poor. Also I am not running ssh services so I cannot depend on them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In an NFS GUI Installation I too have just entered the NFS Server IP and NetMask and Exported Directory. The GUI has reverted then to text and there are NO DHCP Services and I have to force a gateway IP. Text used to work just fined in 10.n but in 11.n I need to provide all the drivers in the setting part of the text install. I need to manually load the Network/Disk/display drivers that are auto-loaded during full GUI install. Try the text install in 11.n - you will see the problems. Unfortunately I cannot run ssh - my LAN is probably more secure than your local banks for a good reason - but that's a long story and not relevant! Please never apologize for your very good contribution. Bring back the exact same install as 10.n - The new install is very poor in the respect that it presumes a typical environment of ? which may not be there and often isn't. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
