I do not have a DVD burner.

I downloaded the F7 DVD to this computer, made /media/iso and did the 
following:

mount F-7-i386-DVD.iso /media/iso -t iso9660 -o loop

When I view the directory it is as follows:

ll --color=no /media/iso
total 487

Then using the "rescue disk" on another computer I attempt to start an 
install.  I have tried both NFS and FTP neither of have been able to 
"see" this box[6] 192.168.1.6.

The box[10] to be installed to presently runs Centos 4.4 and I can FTP 
between the boxes without a problem and view the /media/iso directory.


If I tell it to do an NFS install it requests "NFS Server Name" 
[192.168.1.6] and the "Fedora directory" [/media/iso] which seems 
logical to me.

That yields an error message "That directory could not be mounted from 
the server."

NFS is running:

service nfs status
rpc.mountd (pid 28393) is running...
nfsd (pid 28390 28389 28388 28387 28386 28385 28384 28383) is running...
rpc.rquotad (pid 28376) is running...

What am I doing wrong?
