Everything works all right, out of the box, like a charm. Now I'd like to explore things NFS a little further, and the next question is: starting from a bare bones minimal system, what packages do I need to make NFS work a) on the server side, and b) on the client side? For example, in order to use DHCP on my network, I installed the dhcp package for a DHCP server, and then on the clients I'm using dhclient (already included in the minimum base install). I have quite some documentation here for CentOS / RHEL, but curiously enough, none seems to mention the needed packages to make NFS work. The reason I'm asking: usually I like to install only what's needed. Any suggestions ? Niki
