This is odd. I just tried an NFS install using the latest boot.img and
supp.img (Actually, just the boot.img :) from the updates/images
directory. Once again, it failed with the standard error above :(
I turned on debugging for both rpc.mountd and rpm.nfsd and tried again.
Lo and behold, it's trying to load the file "runinstall2", of which
there isn't one. I checked both ftp.eit.com (where I mirror from) and
ftp.redhat.com, and neither of them has just a runinstall2, only the
runinstall2.Z which is a link to install2.Z.
I made a link of runinstall2 -> install2 and tried again. It's
installing now as I speak/write right over there. This leads me to
believe I have the wrong boot disk ?
Also, It's abysmally slow. This may be the fact that the server is an
old Slackware 2.1 1.2.13 a.out system on token ring, and the install is
on ethernet. But I also noticed several errors on tty4 :
<4> NFS server jedi.cso.kraft.com not responding, still trying.
<4> NFS server jedi.cso.kraft.com OK.
There are about 3 instances of this combo ... Any ideas ?
How 'bout that token ring install process ? I'm ready to try something
whenever y'all get it ready.
