Rick,
Thank you for the confirm.
We will use RHEL5 or RHEL5.1 to do this probing work, just as you said,
once we can actually get to the NFS server using IPv6, the installation
should proceed normally. I have searched by google for this NFS IPv6
support, it seems NFSv4 can support IPv6, but I only find the step by step
guide for IPv4 configuration of NFS version4, and can not find how to
configure IPv6 NFS server and client, do you know that? Thank you.
Best Regards,

It shouldn't. Once you can actually get to the NFS server using IPv6,
the installation should proceed normally. All you're doing there is
establishing the link to the spot where the data is.

As I said, it should work just the same as a standard install, once you
can actually "see" the NFS server over IPv6.

I think RHEL4 update 0 was the first to fully support IPv6. If you just
want to try installations and aren't worried about Red Hat support, you
might want to try CentOS. It's essentially a "white box" version of
RHEL (they grab the RHEL source RPMs, tweak them to remove Red
Hat-branded items and recompile it). It's available free of charge
from:
http://www.centos.org
Here's the relationship between RHEL releases and CentOS releases:
RHEL CentOS
----------- -----------
4 update 0 4.0
4 update 1 4.1
4 update 2 4.2
4 update 3 4.3
4 update 4 4.4
4 update 5 4.5
4 update 0 5.0
As far as documentation, the standard RHEL documents also work for
CentOS. The installation guide is at:
