I'm trying to install FC5T2 over nfs. I googled and several sites

to just make an nfs share and dump the dvd iso file in there and you
are good to go.
I've tried this on my machine and I can't seem to connect to it with
my laptop. I keep getting an error stating that the mountpoint doesn't
seem to be a Fedora Core Installation Tree.
my /etc/exports has just one line
/nfs 10.10.10.0/24(ro,sync)
I have (ro,no_root_squash,sync) in mine, which does work.
which I have dropped the FC5 iso into. I didn't put the md5sum file though.
And on my laptop I'm trying to install to I have my ip for the nfs
server and the directory is just /nfs and I've tried it a few times
and can't seem to get it to go.
Any ideas? I don't have a DVD drive for the laptop to burn it to.
What do your log files say? Prior to mounting, run
tail -f /var/log/messages
and see what it does.
