Hi Per. Now I try the same on my SuSE 10.1. Here is what I have under /media: # ls -l /media/ total 6 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 21 12:40 Debian_Inst <---USB-Sticker dr-xr-xr-x 7 erikja root 6144 May 9 02:05 SU1010_001<---SuSE 10.1 DVD drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 20 15:40 floppy drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 20 20:01 sys The Debian_Inst is the USB-Sticker The SU1010_001 is the SuSE 10.1 DVD. Both are now plugged into the computer. If unplugged, I only have /floppy and /sys under /media. My SuSE box has the IP 192.168.1.9 /etc/exports looks like this: mnt/cdrom 192.168.0.0/16(ro,sync) Mount gives this: mount 192.168.1.9:/media/SU1010_001 /Debian_Inst mount server reported tcp not available, falling back to udp mount: RPC: Program not registered Here is then a try to mount. Don't know if the syntax is correct with reference to the details shown above. Sorry for boring you Per with this. You just say stop, if its too inconvenient to you. /Eirk
