NFS as module - how?

Hi, I would like to add NFS support to my Slink system. What alias do I have to add to /etc/modutils/aliases to use the nfs.o module? (I tried a few I thought of but they did not work.) Or do I have to recompile the kernel, adding nfs support that way? Thanks in advance. _

I don't know for your Intel 810e graphics chipset, but potato does support a lot more graphical cards than slink. For example my card (Viper 770) wasn't supported in slink but it was supported in potato, same goes for the ASUS AGP-V3800Magic, I think you'll have a pretty good chance yours will work

Well, it's not really a downgrade (but I understand you think so), because now samba allows you to have different passwords for samba and shell. There is a program that converts all the passwords from /etc/passwd to smbpasswd, I can't remember the name. I always use smbpasswd -a (as root) to give

Recompiling your kernel is not an extreme thing to do, it is actually very easy (if of course you know how, which is explained very good in the kernel-HOWTO). I think it is also wise to compile a new kernel after installation, because the standard kernel is a kernel that works with most computers,
