My 7.1 installalion included the nfs-utils-clients RPM, but did NOT
include the nfs-utils RPM.
The nsf-utils RPM includes the essential file /usr/sbin/exportfs
without the execution of which no mount points may be exported so
that nfs mounts can not be made.
An attempt to manually install nfs-utils from the 7.1 tree led to:
file /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad from install of nfs-utils-0.1.7-2mdk
conflicts with file from package quota-1.66-11mdk
and nfs-utils will not install, even with all the overrides.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If 7.1 cannot be used on networked PCs, this seems like a 7.1
show-stopper.

QA: Where was any testing of networked operation?
