Hi there!

I'm trying to set up a directory on our NFS server to install RedHat-Linux
over NFS. I've downloaded the bootnet image
(ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/images/i386/bootnet-20000407.img) and
created the boot diskette (dd if=bootnet-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k).
But when I boot from the diskette then after selecting the "NFS image"
installation method, configuring TCP/IP, and NFS setup, the installation
crashes with the error messages:

/tmp/raid1.o: a module named raid1 already exists
/tmp/raid5.o: a module named raid5 already exists
/tmp/fat.o: a module named fat already exists
/tmp/vfat.o: a module named vfat already exists

exec: Permission denied
install exited abnormally
...

The same bootnet diskette works fine when doing an FTP installation.
Also I can mount the NFS directory with the redhat distribution without
problems (actually, if you make a mistake in the NFS setup, you get an
error message that the directory cannot be mounted or something like that;
you never crash out of the installation program).

So what am I missing here?
Has anybody found a workaround that allow an NFS installation?

Any suggestions, comment are greatfully appreciated.

Thanks,
Martin
