BTW, what's your kernel version?
# uname -r 2.2.20-idepci no they are not loaded: # lsmod Module Size Used by parport_pc 7276 1 (autoclean) lp 4580 0 parport 6676 1 [parport_pc lp] af_packet 6136 0 (unused) and # modprobe nfs modprobe: Can't locate module nfs # modprobe lockd modprobe: Can't locate module lockd So you are evidently right. Pity. The howto suggests anything over 2.2.16 supports nfs. I did recently apt-get kernel-image 2.4.18-1-k6 (actually via aptitude), but it doesn't boot correctly, so I continue with the 2.2.20. I suppose I could try dist-upgrade. I know that nfs works out of the box in Sid, and I haven't had any real problems with Sid. The reason I chose Woody was that I just wanted to play safe as that box is used by the rest of the family, who don't want to cope with problems, particularly when I am out of the country. Someone will probably tell me to compile a kernel, but I've wasted days reading howtos and going through configurations I understand about 10% of, only to get unusable kernels, so I'm not inclined to go that route. -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
