I'm getting a similar message from "statelessGenPXEConfig.py":
"
[root at fsix-Server /]# python /usr/share/stateless/statelessGenPXEConfig.py
Unable to get NFS location of DemoSystem snapshot DemoSystem-1
"
Here's my /etc/exports:
"
/home/users *(rw,async)
/src/stateless/snapshots *(rw,async)
"
Does anyone know how the NFS location is supposed to be set up? Is
there any more documentation than the Tutorial and the source ( I don't
speak python very well )?

I could configure it by hand, but I'm sure I would end up with a
read-only system that wouldn't function like stateless was designed to
run (ie, it would be crippled, and act very "read-only-ish"). I get the
impression that Stateless Linux is supposed to look and act as though it
were a locally installed fully functional Fedora installation. I'm
wondering what configuration in the pxelinux.cfg/ folder facillitates this.
Thanks!
