On openSUSE, you can export the repository with NFS using YaST. Proceed as follows:
1
Log in as root.
2
Start YaST > Network Services > NFS Server.
3
Select Start and Open Port in Firewall and click Next.
4
Select Add Directory and browse for the directory containing the installation sources,
in this case, productversion.
5
Select Add Host and enter the hostnames of the machines to which to export the in-
stallation data. Instead of specifying hostnames here, you could also use wild cards,
ranges of network addresses, or just the domain name of your network. Enter the
appropriate export options or leave the default, which works ne in most setups. For
more information about the syntax used in exporting NFS shares, read the exports
man page.
6
Click Finish. The NFS server holding the openSUSE repository is automatically
started and integrated into the boot process.
If you prefer manually exporting the repository via NFS instead of using the YaST NFS
Server module, proceed as follows:
1
Log in as root.

Open the le /etc/exports and enter the following line:
/productversion *(ro,root_squash,sync)
