NFS install hangs


Hi all,
I'm trying to do a NFS install on my laptop (this seems to be a popular topic!). I have my ethernet card setup and can ping my other machine (the one I am installing from). I can ping my laptop from the other machine as well. So, I run setup, configure everything... When I select my source for install, I choose NFS and configure everything. Gets mounted and worked. Select the "disk sets". Then, it hangs with the message "Installing package set a". And just sits there... What am I doing wrong. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Taj

Have you tried to cp the packages over manually and install them that way from the cdrom or whatever your using to install from?

Yes... No luck. Even if I try to do a ls in the mounted directory, ls hangs... So does cp. :-( Maybe I should just buy a PCMCIA CD-ROM drive...
