    Hello, I am not a Fedora user but I want to setup a FC4
    install server so that FC4 can be installed at installfests!

    I have setup a FC3 install server using the instructions
    on this web page!
    http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-adv/network-install.htm

    It works perfectly!

    My FC4 server setup the same way does not work!

    It boot the install process OK!

    When I specify NFS install, first DHCP fails.

    Then when I set the IP numbers by hand, and specify
    the server IP and directory, it says it could not
    mount that NFS share!

    When I loop at /var/log/messages.log

    I see that /data/network-install is being mounted when
    I try to do a FC3 install:

    Jun 30 13:19:11 hrnowl rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from barnowl:780 for /data/network-inst
    all/FC3/ISO (/data/network-install)
    Jun 30 13:19:11 hrnowl kernel: SFW2-INext-ACC-TRUST IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:09:5b:1a:9c:a8:00:60:b0:a2:ce:

    d2:08:00 SRC=192.168.86.4 DST=192.168.86.1 LEN=144 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=800
     DPT=2049 LEN=124

    But I get no messages at all (not even failure messages)
    when I attempt to do an FC4 network nfs install.

    Has the procedure to setup a network install server changed
    from FC3 to FC4?

    Thank You.
