[ILUG] Help with install from CD on another machine

[Tom Mackey]

Hi,
Since the message below I thought of checking var/log/usr/log.  It gives the 
reason as "request from unauthorised host".  It seems that RPC needs an entry 
in hosts.allow .  Any idea what that line should be?

Hi,
I am trying to install Mandrake 7.2 (over the network) on an old 486 with no
CD from the CD on my Linux box.

I have made a boot floppy with a network install image.  I have NFS
sucesfully runing on my main machine.

The install recognises network card etc and gets as far as the following
 error "mount: RPC: authentication error"

I have added both the host name and ip number of the 486 after /mnt/cdrom in
the /etc/exports file.  I have the cd mounted (using linuxconf)

Any ideas as to where I am going wrong?
