Hans,
Mandrake 7.0-2 (custom, development) omits installation of the
following essential networking RPMs:
portmap
nfs-utils
nfs-utils-clients
Use kpackage as root to install them from your CD.
It also neglects to start the nfs deamon (nfsd). Use ksysv as root
to include it in runlevels 3 and 5 after netfs, then reboot.
Check with the task manager that you now have rpc.mountd, etc.
running.
You and I must be the only people using this stuff - certainly and
obviously the Mandrake developers or QA people (yes, they exist!)
never tried to use it before (or after) release.
