Re: [SLE] Installing 8.1 via NFS

I'm trying to install SuSE-8.1 via NFS on a DELL Inspiron 8200.

The problem I'm seeing is: although the NFS-shared directory seems to be found (mounted correctly), the booter (on the machine being installed) is claiming that it "cannot find the image" and is suggesting to "verify the directory specification".

I mounted /SuSE-8.1/CD1 which contained the the first CD. Files were copied via: # cd /media; tar cf - cdrom | (cd /SuSE-8.1; tar xf - ; mv cdrom CD1) The recipe described in adminguide didn't work for me. I reported the problem via the feedback form one week ago but I haven't seen any correction. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
