[LUNI] Fedora 9 NFS install

[Timothy J. Wielgos]

Seva, you're a friggin' genius.  I was exporting the parent of the directory my installation ISO was mounted in, but NFS didn't want to do it that way.  Once I exported the same directory I mounted the ISO in, I was able to continue.

Thanks!

Also, I think you have to export the filesystem which contains the data, 
so in your case you have to export /temp/fedora9 not /temp.
