I have never done this before.  What did your /etc/exports file
look like?   So, you booted from a floppy, mounted the CD-ROM, then
did the installation?  Anyway, thanks for the tip about 
 -t nfs.  I'm not sure if I specified the type or not.

Anyone have comments on the meeting date?  I'm about to set
it for September 24.  Speak now oh Linux lovers!
