[newbie] NFS

[Martin Cleaver]

Can't seem to get nfs working... strangest thing is that linuxconf lets me install nfs drives and exports, while nfstools are not even installed... mind you, why aren't they? Well, I tried about everything and eventually managed to get nfs installed.. at least I thought I did... but I couldn't find any of the files that shoudl have been there... for instance, /usr/sbin/exportfs...   Eventually I rebooted the machine and there it was, but this is almost as bad as bloody Windows! You have to reboot to get nfs not just working, but even showing up!!! I reeally don't understand how linuxconf/Mandrake allows me to configure nfs without as much as a peep to say "nfs isn't installed.."   Rgds   Martin
