We copied the SuSE 9.3 double layer DVD iso to a 12Gb hard drive hdb on a 400mHz SuSE 9.3box. We mounted the iso image loopback, and exported an NFS directory named /93iso with a fixed address. We can read the contents of the iso from other boxes on the network.
We want to connect recycled 600mHz boxes to the network and install 9.3 from the NFS server. SUSE-Linux-9.3-mini-installation.iso seems to be hard to find.
We killed the server firewall and played with slpd. We can see whatever combinations of address+directory we put up for the server's slpd broadcast, but can't be sure we are putting up the correct information.
I found, that unlike usual NFS shares & mounts, you have to specify the entire path from root. In my example, for the path I had to enter /home/SuSE_9.3/SuSE_9.3.
