Okay, I just have to add my 2 cents. :-)
Doesn't seem like you can use X there, so don't try to force it. We just
upgraded ~230 servers without using X or VNC. We used the good old ncurses

I'm curious, why do you NEED X to do maint? I do all our manual maintenance in
Yast2 via Putty. There are a few things you can't do in non-graphical (like
mark a patch taboo), but otherwise it's almost all there.

(/root) R
Taking a step back ... I've been thinking just about trying to get X
working (since YaST2 will need that). There are other ways to get the
maint finished.
Marcy mentioned VNC. Do you know if a VNC server was started on the
upgraded system? If so, then it might be wwwaaayyy easier just to use

Sounds good. Should be fine.

PuTTY can do the X tunneling.
(X tunneling is a special case of tunneling via SSH, supported by most
SSH clients, including PuTTY.)

I seem to recall another option is to use the DVD drive on your Hardware
Management Console. And with SLES at least, I also think we could use FTP as
an installation source. It might be quicker for you to get that going than to
continue to bang your head on NFS.
But it's been a few years, so

Looks like part of the problem is that both ends call themselves "localhost".
DO NOT use "localhost" for the NFS mount (unless you really want to
NFS mount something served back to the same box, clearly not this
case).

Try the -v flag on your mount. Perhaps verbose will give a clue of why it is

Just for grins, after you do the mount, run 'exportfs -a' to force the exports
list to be updated.

So perhaps therein lies the problem. Perhaps the device has to first be
converted into a .iso file? There's an example with "dd" in section 4.3.1
of the latest Virtualization Cookbook:

That doesn't make sens
Apart from a classic linux desktop with openssh, there is no better
alternative than putty :)
As an argument towards putty:
- security fixes will be delivered JIT
- broad user base
