How to install rhel through nfs

Hi guys

I have two systems connected by local network

192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 both installed RHEL

I have congigured nfs and httpd and /mnt/package contains the rhel dvd contents extracted. Also the iso image of rhel

from the other system (192.168.0.2), I can mount the share from 192.168.0.1. i.e NFS network is ok in 192.168.0.1

But when I tries to install rhel from 192.168.0.2 It shows the message that that directory cannot be mounted. selinux is permissive in 192.168.0.1.
The problem when it asks for network ipno

Is it required to run dhcp server on 192.168.0.1?

I have tried another way also - by http

created a link to /mnt/package in /var/www/html

But when I tries to install through http://192.168.0.1/package ( from http://192.168.0.1 also - experimented all combinations) - it automatically switches to CD install.

If the iso is also shared just mount it as a disk (on the machine performing the install).

Code:

mount -o loop /mnt/nfs/rhel.iso /mnt/installcd
