NFS on Linux

[smita]

HI,
I am new to Linux..i just installed it and need to run NFS on it.
Coudl someone pls tell me where I could download nfs server and client. and
pointers installing it..
Do i need to compile the kernel or get patches for it.
If so could someone in a very layman's language tell me how to go about it.
It is my first exp with linux and I look forward to ur support.

Thanx
smith

Then do so. Start rpc and the nfs server. The NFS HOWTO will tell you
all you need to know. On your disk now - you just have to look for it
and in it.

Yes - anywhere and nowhere. It should come with your o/s.

Do it.

Definitely - it's a good experience ;).

No.

Have you even looked at the system since you "installed" it?
Everything you need is already built in, and unless you made a major
mess with the installation, should be ready to roll. The docs are
there too. As for kernal recompile, unless you're using a really
ancient version of linux (you don't mention what distribution or
version you're using, which makes it impossible for anyone to help
much), no.

Have you taken a listing of the processes on the machine. What I would do if
I were in your place if do some reading before making a post in a news
group.
What I would expect from a newsgroup are pointers to very specific problems
that I encounter for which enough documentation does not exist.
