Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I am trying to get the kickstart working at my workplace, we pull much
of the post install configs from nfs from one of our servers.  Right
now, nfs does not appear to be supported in the mini.iso installer.

On recomendation from Colin, I straced the mount line I was trying to
use and saw that the mount syscall was failing:

mount("my.nfs.server:/disk/config", "/tmp/mnt", "nfs",
MS_POSIXACL|MS_ACTIVE|MS_NOUSER|0xec0000, 0x80f7db0) = -1 ENODEV (No
such device)

>From the mount man page:
 ENODEV Filesystemtype not configured in the kernel.

So it looks like nfs support is not in the kernel used by the installer.
