How to setup a FC4 install server?

Hello, I am not a Fedora user but I want to setup a FC4
install server so that FC4 can be installed at installfests!

I have setup a FC3 install server using the instructions
on this web page!
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-adv/network-install.htm

It works perfectly!

My FC4 server setup the same way does not work!

It boot the install process OK!

When I specify NFS install, first DHCP fails.

Then when I set the IP numbers by hand, and specify
the server IP and directory, it says it could not
mount that NFS share!

When I loop at /var/log/messages.log

I see that /data/network-install is being mounted when
I try to do a FC3 install:

Jun 30 13:19:11 hrnowl rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from barnowl:780 for /data/network-inst
all/FC3/ISO (/data/network-install)

 DPT=2049 LEN=124


But I get no messages at all (not even failure messages)
when I attempt to do an FC4 network nfs install.

Has the procedure to setup a network install server changed
from FC3 to FC4?

Thank You.
