David, Thanks for you help.
I used your suggestions and at least got the nfs packages. They must not be in the base install. Is their an apt-get command that makes a list of everything not installed? However I do have some errors: knuth:/etc/init.d# ./nfs-kernel-server start Starting NFS kernel daemon: nfsdnfssvc: Function not implemented mountd. Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...feynman.amplepower.com:/: Function not implemented done. knuth:/etc/init.d# ps ax |grep rpc 2545 ? S 0:00 /sbin/rpc.statd 2557 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd 2596 pts/5 S 0:00 grep rpc According to Osamu Aoki, I should also see /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd. -- Sincerely, David Smead http://www.amplepower.com.
