Hello to all Linux Gurus,

We are trying to install Linux Slackware 3.0 over the NFS. We have exported
the Slackware files and directories from our server successfully. We have
double checked all the network parameters and file system permissions and they
all seem to be all right. The Linux system is able to read all the mounted
files and directories. However, when we try to install Linux on the PC we get
the error saying:

Can't find a disk series in a in the source directory.

Does anybody out there who have installed Linux successfully via NFS and
willing to share some pointers?

Thanks very much in advance.

Have you double checked that you do indeed have all the disk sets? I
think I've seen that problem before when I have forgotten to copy all
the disks on to the slackware NFS server here. Check what disk set
setup is complaining about. Then cross check it with the actual
distribution. If set "A" is the problem, you only have a few
directories to check.
