I installed successfully on one machine (Im a pro at that now). Since my machines are not connected to the internet (yet), its only for practise, I gave the first machine the fake hostname of "gw.example.net" (sound familiar) with a fake ip address. The output of ifconfig -a shows my nic interface (ed0) witht the ip address and the loopback device. I entered the info as described for an nfs server from the handbook. On the second machine Im trying to install via NFS. I used gw.example.net:/cdrom and it says that it could mount the cdrom. On the server I manually mounted the cdrom and tried again with the same message. Does anyone have a sure shot way of trying to do what Im doing?????
