Possible Installation Bug

[Nicholas Robinson]

Hi

I've just installed Fedora 8 on an i386 workstation trying out a usb bootmedia 
and nfs mount of the dvd.

Everything seemed fine, but on configuring the workstation to use a remote 
mount for the user home directories and ypbind for nis logins, groups, etc. I 
got errors during login saying that the home directory didn't exist. This was 
for console logins as well as KDE/Gnome.

After a console login, you were put to / as the default directory, but issuing 
a cd commend put you into the correct user home directory with full access - 
so the mount was working okay. It also works on to several other 
workstations, so I don't think there is a problem with the server side nfs.

Eventually,  I gave up and reinstalled using the DVD directly and everything 
worked okay.

Best Wishes
