[plug] Proglems with NFS Installation of Mandrake 8.2

[Steege, Phil E]

Prior to trying the mdk 8.2 upgrade.  I was using the nfs mount from machine
1 to 2 and copying files over with no problems.
It only fails when I boot with the floppy with the network image files, that
mandrake says to create for nfs installs.
Additionally, I can find no .iso files for Mandrake 8.2 on the dvd.  Has
anyone else got the dvd version of the Linux Format magazine ?

Hya Phil,

Restart portmap,nfslock,nfs on machine 1 and check you're not denying
machine 2 ip from /etc/hosts.(deny|allow)

Hope this helps...
