[Fedora-xen] Re: guest install with loop backed FC5 dvd iso image

[Ron Wahler]

this install if fighting me on every step.   So now I am progressing on the
FC5 guest install and
it can not access my nfs  /mnt drive with the FC5 dvd iso, it is shared R/W
from my dom0, any ideas to try ?  I get to the screen that asks for the nfs
server and directory to mount.


thanks,
Ron.
