I've never tried an NFS install using the Red Hat installer.
As for it being a slinky problem, it's possible, even likely. However, we 
don't have enough installer feedback regarding NFS installs to know for 
sure. 
In the for what it's worth department, I've found NFS to be unreliable for 
large file transfers. I've tried NFS mounting a share containing all the 
RPM packages for several releases. Running the anaconda tools to rebuild 
the  CD images always fails with NFS errors. I've never been able to make 
it work for this purpose. It could well be a problem on my end, as I 
don't often use NFS.
