Hello ,
I have experience over Redhat but new to suse .
I am facing the problem of suse installtion via nfs server.
In Redhat I uses following steps
Frist copy all cds in system by
# cp -var /media/cdrom/Redhat /source
then share /source by nfs server in /etc/exports file.
then client and give the command
#linux askmethod
and installation starts
A suse documentation tells me this procedure
To create a directory holding the installation data, proceed as follows:
1 Log in as root.
2 Create a directory that should later hold all installation data and change into this
directory. For example:
mkdir install/product/productversion
cd install/product/productversion
Replace product with an abbreviation of the product name (in this case SUSE
Linux) and productversion with a string that contains the product name
and version.
3 For each CD contained in the media kit execute the following commands:
a Copy the entire content of the installation CD into the installation server
directory:
cp -a /media/path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive .
Replace path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive with the actual path under
which your CD or DVD drive is addressed. Depending on the type of drive
used in your system, this can be cdrom, cdrecorder, dvd, or
dvdrecorder.
b Rename the directory to the CD number:
mv path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive CDx
Replace x with the actual number of your CD.
I understation from this that I have to copy the entire 5 five cds of suse 10 in /source and renaming them by cd1 ,cd2 ,cd3 ..
at the end I will have 5 directories in the /source
that is cd1,cd2,cd3,cd4,cd5
I will share /source in nfs
Then I boot the client and give hime nfs server ip and share directory as /source
but it does not accept it.
Kindly tell me the method in simple words.
