Subject: slackware install from nfs

Anyone ever do an install with packages on an NFS server? I set up an
NFS server with ProNFS on a windows box. When I view my exports,
everything looks fine. My packages directory is exported as
/d/slackware. However, the installer gives me a message indicating it
can't find the package directories on the NFS server. It is however
successfully communicating with the server.

I've gotten tired of configuration issues with the "easy-to-use"
distros, so I'm going back to the basics. At least with Slackware I
know I can get everything (sound, AVIs, etc) to work.
