I have nfs working in a manual mode now. I assigned it a different mount
point and it worked fine. The next thing I'm working on now is getting it to
load on boot-up. I get a message that "fs type NFS is not supported by
kernel" That's weird since I can do it manually. I gues it's still
something in /etc/fstab that's a little off. This is not very easy to do
since all the books either instruct you from RedHat or SuSe. I did notice on
startup that it tries to mount nfs, before nfs is started. That might be a
clue. I'll keep playing with it and let you know what happens. Thanks for
all of your help!!
