**Additional Information.**
If all the Network Installation and NFS Server bugs are ever going to be solved
for once we have much to do.
Many bugs need to be solved in many many areas! This issue can only be realised
if you use the GUI Tools available to every user and NOT going any-ware near a
command prompt.
The Sever which holds the complete source DVD - MUST HAVE A STATIC IP - DHCP +
Zero Config is NOT acceptable here! - Statement not Question!
Once the DVD Source files are present and mounted it matters not if you use
either NFS Server Mount Points or HTTP or HTTPS etc.
Lets just concentrate of a basic Network Install ALL via the GUI.
The presence of ANY NFS Server can only be found by the NFS Client IF you use
the servers IP.
NFS Server names are never present when the NFS Client tries to browse the
Network!
This has never been resolved since 10.0
Server Host names are of absolutely NO value and browsing for NFS Server names,
yields a blank list of available servers - Nothing new here
Once the above conditions are met, and you go no where near a command prompt,
USE ONLY user GUI Tools, the bugs come out.
Due to data limitations that face a huge amount of users, the ability to use
the online source repository for Installation Is of very little OR No value!
Boot the New PC via the Network CD and start a normal local Network
Installation and never use an automated Installation.
From here in its very simple for you at suse.de - Start the Network Install as
above and you will see in front of you every nasty errors, bug fault, fall
overs and Debug Information:!
Not only the Installation, but every ugly problem in Yast 11.3 and every ugly
problem with both NFS Server and Client, will appear!
This will give you all the logs, error, debug output you need to solve the huge
amount of bugs involved in this entire process.
If your wondering why users often give no response - Its because they are
tired, had enough and have no faith that these issues will every be fixed!
Run a Bugzilla reporter for 'NORESPONSE"
Many thanks you help!

fixed...Please add what ever you would like to see or add or what ever.
