nfs problem



Hi, I am running rh 8.0 on intel. I am trying out an nfs kickstart for
the first time. I have gone through the doco - preparation etc.

My nfs server is 192.168.1.1
nfs, portmap, nfslockd are running, and all the required rpc processes
seem to be there. a showmount -e shows that the directory has been
exported and is available.

I have:
copied all the cd stuff from the RedHat dir into a directory called
/Redhat. 
made this dir available via /etc/exports (entry = /Redhat *(ro) )
restarted nfs
tried nfs mount from same machine before trying the kickstart (I am
playing) ie from remote machine 

mount 192.168.1.1:/Redhat /Redhat  

and this was successful.

Now when I try the kickstart option of nfs install, I am getting an
error that says "That directory could not be mounted from the server".
I input  a static IP of 192.168.1.2, nm 255.255.255.0, gateway
192.168.1.1 for the new machine, I input the nfs server ip as
192.168.1.1 and the directory as /Redhat.

I am running iptables, but the entry for this subnet is an allow all
entry. I have also an entry in /etc/hosts.allow  for this subnet to
allow all. There doesn't seem to be anything in the log files.

What have I done wrong?
