Re: [newbie] installing nfs on mandrake 7.2
hi, have you installed the nfs rpm packages? something like nfs-utils or somesuch, then you can use the command exportfs to serve an nfs volume: #exportfs /path/to/export machine:domain or something similar this is all from memory as i haven't done this for ages so caveats apply, i know you can set up nfs serves from linuxconf bascule On Saturday 08 September 2001 7:17 am, you wrote: okay im trying to get my main machine to use nfs, so that i can install linux onto anouther machine (that cant use a cdrom, and not enough space for a ftp install). i did enable nfs in the xconfig... and recompile the kernel... but when i goto /etc/init.d the closest thing i have to 'nfs' is netfs? is that mandrake's renaming of it... or did they put the nfs command somewhere else... also where do i find 'portmap' and 'mountd' or is mountd... just mount? -- nathan _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] installing nfs on mandrake 7.2
thanks, forgot about that there should be a rpm for that stinkin thing... :) installed it... now... where do i tell the kernel to load it? i put it in rc.sysinit /etc/init.d/portmap start /etc/init.d/nfslock start portmap started fine... nfs locks the machine and gets some stupid error? should i put this into rc.local instead? --nathan From: bascule [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] installing nfs on mandrake 7.2 Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2001 07:31:11 +0100 hi, have you installed the nfs rpm packages? something like nfs-utils or somesuch, then you can use the command exportfs to serve an nfs volume: #exportfs /path/to/export machine:domain or something similar this is all from memory as i haven't done this for ages so caveats apply, i know you can set up nfs serves from linuxconf bascule On Saturday 08 September 2001 7:17 am, you wrote: okay im trying to get my main machine to use nfs, so that i can install linux onto anouther machine (that cant use a cdrom, and not enough space for a ftp install). i did enable nfs in the xconfig... and recompile the kernel... but when i goto /etc/init.d the closest thing i have to 'nfs' is netfs? is that mandrake's renaming of it... or did they put the nfs command somewhere else... also where do i find 'portmap' and 'mountd' or is mountd... just mount? -- nathan _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
