NEVER MIND.
I got this working for Debian.
My problem was, understandably so, ignorance of the install
program. I needed to 'install kernel and base modules' FROM the Rescue and
Drivers diskettes---that wasn't obvious to me. Then I was able to enable
nic and nfs modules. My nfs install is running right now.
PS: I also like the Apache interaction with database (cgi,
etc) topic suggestion. Looks like we have a lot of great possible topics
for future meetings. 8-)
I cannot get NFS install
to work.
I had this same problem with RH, and now
Debian.
I have no problem setting up nfs and mounting remote
volumes on existing Linux machines, but mounting my known working nfs
servers in the boot process fails everytime for me. I've got to be
doing something wrong. I say this because I assume if nfs install
didn't work, the authors would remove the option from the software and
documentation.
I configured the network using the option to do so on the
Debian rescue-install disk. This caused the options 'nfs' to appear in
the install kernel and modules step. But when I direct it to my nfs
server, it immediately responds with an nfs error.
Also, how do I know that the network card is getting
inititalized properly? The rescue-install disk asked all the necessary
questions except what kind of card I have--how do I know it installed the
correct driver? (NE2000 ISA in my case). Perhaps in this case, the
card isn't working right so that's why I can't find the nfs server.
However, I know RH's install configured the card correctly, yet nfs install
fails there too (I had to ftp install instead). (I know this box and
network card work well--I just wiped a working RH install to put Debian on
instead.)
hmmm.. Troy Wolf
