From your previous message, I came up with 5 possibilities to test:
These two work:
baseurl=file:///mnt/net/rocketj/install-disks/FedoraCore/FC1
baseurl=file:/mnt/net/rocketj/install-disks/FedoraCore/FC1
These three don't work:
baseurl=file://mnt/net/rocketj/install-disks/FedoraCore/FC1
baseurl=file://./mnt/net/rocketj/install-disks/FedoraCore/FC1
baseurl=/mnt/net/rocketj/install-disks/FedoraCore/FC1
The three failures give different messages, but all three give up
without doing harm.
>> NFS might actually be more efficient. <<
I can't guess at that. My NFS export machine is 4-10 times faster than
my little local web server. The 100Mbs ethernet may be the slow part for
both.
Regardless, I'll pick:
baseurl=http://192.168.1.5/yum/FC1/base
because the boxes that "visit" my shop net won't need network setup
changes in order to upgrade or install something.
I'll finish looking at your article soon.
