Hi,

Though you should know as I lost a lot of time over this and it would be
a usefull thing on your web pages....

Linux 2.2.10 (ie current) and lower does not support nfs V3 and this is
the protocol used for net installation.

There are patches and additional install userland progs but still not
joy.... yet.

Seems stuck on running init which is a slight progress but not much over
the unable to mount I had before patching and mods.

Regards,
M

PS any pointers greatly appreciated, oh and heres one of the links I
found that leads to the other stuff needed - but this hasn't worked for
me yet.
