Subject: Installation off the Net
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 18:49:41 EDT

 I was wondering if someone could offer me a bit of assistance with this
problem that I am having. Currently, I am trying to install Linux off
the net (from smallgods.mit.edu), but I am running into problems
mounting NFS:

	mount clntdup_create: RPC port mapper failure : RPC timed out
	
	Current mount table:
	/dev/fd0 on type minix (rw)
	none on /proc type proc (rw)

I ran ifconfig and get the following:
	
	lo	.......
		.......
		UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU 3584 Metric 1
		RX packets 36 errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0
		TX packets 36 errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0

	eth0	.......
		.......
		UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU 1500 Metric 1
		RX packets 0 errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0
		TX packets 20 errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0

 The ethernet is a 3C590 Combo, and the system appears to detect it
without a problem. I am retty sure that I also have the correct IP
address both for the host machine and the gateway I am using.
 Any sort of direction or aid would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a
lot.
