Thanks Chris!
Anaconda is running, so I'll proceed with the install and post back the
results. Must have forgot that an IP address could go in /etc/exports
and cover the whole LAN.

First update. Install completed. Crashed when setting up LVM but that
can be done later. On boot a couple of [FAILED] went past too fast to
see, guess I'll find out what soon enough.
Message on firstboot that X server was not configured properly,
possibly not enough RAM. I got a console for 3-5s then a black screen
followed by a blank screen, then another console, cycling 2-3 times
until left with a blank screen. Could not Ctrl-Alt-Fn to a console.
Reboot brought up a login and so far things seem to be working. Thanks
for your help. I'll work through all the extras one by one (WLAN,
webcam, mic, extra buttons...).
Many thanks
