To install from (or via) NFS, an NFS server that can export a complete installation tree or installation CD image files for Asianux 2.0 is needed on the network. Here are the steps to configure the NFS server supporting network installation.
 
First, copy the installation CD image files or installation tree for Asianux Server to the NFS server. For the detailed explanation, you can refer to the document Installation Mode of Asianux. We assume /aa/bb/cc as the directory storing the installation tree or CD image files.

Make /aa/bb/cc accessible for the installer (export this directory with NFS Service), and edit the /etc/exports file by adding the following line:
                        /aa/bb/cc  *(ro)

Run the following command to start up the NFS daemons, so as to make available the installation source to each host on which the system to be installed to mount /aa/bb/cc in the read-only manner.

                        /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart
 

Before using the NFS Server and NFS Client functions, you need to start up the portmap service.
