post-NFS install problems

[moey tony]

hi,

i tried "redhat-config-packages --isodir=/mnt/mymountednfs"
but it just crashed.

Sorry, I forgot to state that it wasn't installed with iso images shared on the NFS server.
I actually copied all the contents from each of the three CD's of RH9 to the NFS folder.

any other way to work around that? I hope it's not a bug...because i read somewhere in
bugzilla about something like this happening too.

I hope there's a workaround without having to update the packages :) because i got no hi-speed line
in the school's lab.

any help is much appreciated !

Regards,
Tony
