I am NFS mounting my local mirror of Red Hat Linux 8.0 to /mnt/8.0. I am successful at using the --isodir option like this:

redhat-config-packages --isodir=/mnt/8.0/en/iso/i386/

Note well that I have to put the slash at the end for success.


I cannot get the --tree option to work at all. The redhat-config-packages tells me that the directory I specified does not appear to be a valid installation source.

I've tried every directory level with and without a slash at the end.

e.g.:
redhat-config-packages --tree=/mnt/8.0/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

Any ideas here? Can someone get this to work over NFS?
