The problem occurs when I get to the "Installation Settings" portion of
the install. The installation breezes through the Language, Installation
Mode, and Clock and Time Zone portions. Within the software section of
the Installation, it reports:

Error -> no proposal (Graphical Mode)
or
No Catalog found at nfs://192.168.2.6/mnt/sles10 (Text mode)

Cheers,
Paul

Where is this problem?
I have copied successfully an 8.5 GB ISO file over NFS (kernel-nfsd),
already with SUSE-9.3 NFS server.
