Re: Installing 80 workstations with PXE

However, when I start the installation on more than one pc at a time

when they look for the ISO file (I guess) it says: Unable to mount
NFS Share.

Does the first PC you start in the group successfully mount the NFS
share, and the others get the message?

But remember, one pc at a time, it work perfectly.

Does each machine you do in the one at a time mode get the same IP
each time?

Here is the DHCP.conf file:

ddns-update-style interim;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.254;

Does the NFS server accept mount requests from IPs in that entire range?
