PROBLEM: NFS Install Cannot Access Remote DVD Drive

(View Disclaimer)

Applies to:

  • SUSE Linux 10.0
  • SUSE Linux Professional 9.2-9.3
  • Novell Linux Desktop 9
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9

PROBLEM: 10.0 NFS net install could not access remote DVD drive (exits install setup: "Permission Denied").

Apparently maybe an authentication issue when using local login authentication on each net node.

SOLUTION: Use 10.0 FTP instead of NFS net install, and make sure it's user authenticated (NOT anonymous) FTP.

It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
