My plan of attack was to first get the kickstart file working to install the OS (done), then work to get the post-install stuff working (now done), followed by the PXE stuff.  I've absolutely no experience with PXE so I would imagine another question or two might be forthcoming as I google, tweak, and whatnot.

I coded no_root_squash in the exports file, as well as attempting to force read/write during the mount but no such luck.  Would that be due to the lack of locking or other reason?  It's not a big deal really if I can't write to it, it'd just be kind of a bonus.

What does your exports file look like?
