Yup. Start it in /etc/rc.d
So on my system
ls /etc/rc.d/*/*nfs*








Ie, you want to start up both nfs and nfsd  (in runlevels 3-5). This
should have occured automatically when you told the installation program
you wanted to set up nfs (ie be a nfs server)

You can automount a nfs filesystem in /etc/fstab with a line like:
eden:/doswin/kits      /mnt/nfs        nfs     rsize=1024,wsize=1024 0 0

See 'man mount' and 'man fstab' for more detail of parameters for this file.

1. Help: NFS Install problem with Redhat 5.2

I am trying to install Redhat on a Toshiba T2130CT laptop via a
network.  I am new at all of this, so pardon the questions if they seem
too obvious.

Using the Redhat 5.2 installation floppies I went through the
installation process up until it asks for the

NFS server name:  sprot.tland.net      
Red Hat directory: /mnt/cdrom

at which point I entered the locations indicated entries.  The answer I
got was "invalid argument" followed by another dialog saying "can't
mount server"

I am also trying to set up the network for the first time so the problem
might be there.  I have succeeded in setting the net parameters so that
I can ping in either direction between the desktop and laptop (using
tomsrtbt one disk linux) with either IP numbers or hostnames.  What I
haven't been able to do is mount the cdrom on the desktop via the
network or the hard drive on the laptop.  I get the following msgs:

On bill (laptop):
mount sprog:/mnt/cdrom /mnt/local

I get this error:
mount:RPC: Program not registered.

On sprog (desktop):
mount bill:/mnt /mnt/local

I get this error:
mount: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive

I have updated the /etc/export files on both machines

What haven't I done??  If I succeed in mounting I presume that will fix
my Redhat installation problem, or is it something else?  

Thank you in advance,

Chris
