<snip> Robert, If you are running the install via yast, (pointed yast to the shared cd-rom drive in the first place), then yast handles the mount/unmount commands itself, just as if you were on a local file system. If you do a mount -t nfs, you will not see cd-rom files as they are iso9660 type, not nfs, regardless of where you view them from. At least, that has been my experience, anyway. -- This Email is 100% Virus Free! How do I know? Because no Microsoft products were used to generate it! Regards Don Hansford ECKYTECH COMPUTING/ SQIT Warwick <SuSE Linux 6.4> <snip> Ok, ok. let me get this straight, because this is one of the things I've wanted to get ironed out, but haven't had the time to fool with it previously. How exactly do you handle the server side mounting and exporting. Say for instance, you have your cdrom in /etc/fstab as /cdrom, and you have it exported via nfs. Are you saying that you don't actually have to mount the cdrom before exporting it, kinda like you normally don't have to mount the cdrom locally before using it w/ yast? And then the client's yast will automatically mount/umount the cdrom over nfs, just like local yast sessions. That would be almost too good to be true!
