Hello: I was trying, once again, to setup NFS between two Linux boxes. I've tried several times to make this work (they tell me it's easy) and now I have a very important reason to do so now. My boss wants to see Linux in action and part of that means on a network. I'm practicing here at home. Both machines are networked and can share the internet connection of RIKER. I consider RIKER the server and LONDO client. All are Linux Mandrake 7.2. I set up RIKER to serve to the others. RIKER's export file: /mnt/cdrom (ro) /mnt/zip (rw) /home londo(rw) I'm following a book here so not real sure this is as it should look. The FSTAB entry looks like this on LONDO: riker:/home home NFS I save the changes on LONDO and then type: mount riker:/home then I get the error "NFS not supported by kernel." Souldn't this be built into the kernel. I've added the NFS utilities RPM and PORTMAPPER and nothing seems to help. I'm at a loss and need to get going before my D-Day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If more information is need I will be glad to give it, and if someone would like to help off-list, I would appreciate that even more. :) Riker
