LinuxQuestions.org - Creating dieskless filesystem using DNF/YUM

I thought /mnt was just used for chrooting purposes.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a FC22 filesystem for diskless NFS clients using the following command:

Code:

dnf groupinstall "Fedora Workstation" --rootinstall=/mnt/nfs_fs/fc22_ws/ -releasever=22 -y

So DNF/YUM obtains all of the packages and just before installing I get the following error:

Code:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/mnt/nfs_fs/fc22_ws/var/lib/dnf/groups.json'

Even with the "MATE Desktop" group I get the same error. However, I can install the "minimal install" and "basic desktop" installs without that error.

Any ideas why I get the errors or a suggestion how can I properly create a NFS filesystem (with GUI like Gnome) for FC22?

The host on which I am trying to execute the DNF/YUM group install is an updated FC22 machine.
