Description of Problem: The installer seems to assume that an NFS mount install is mounting a mirror of the FTP site, rather than the possibility of it mounting loopback-mounted ISO images. In this case, when it gets to a package that should be on the second CD (in my case, tetex-fonts) it will error with a 'file not found' and _only_ offer the option of a retry. I needed to look in RPMS/ on a different NFS mount, so this wasn't helpful. I had to switch mountpoints in the exports file on the remote machine and force a remount from a shell. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.2 How Reproducible: Always, I imagine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform an NFS install, mounting ISO images. 2. Choose packages from the second CD as well as the first. 3. Wait until a package from the second CD is needed. Actual Results: A dialog box offering 'OK to re-try'. Expected Results: The option of checking in a different location, or at least a 'cancel' button. Additional Information:
Considering for a future release
Next release will allow mounting multiple ISO images from a single directory (just drop the CD iso files in one place, point NFS at that dir, and proceed). This should address your concern.
