Howto install NFS on the server (9.04):

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap
sudo dpkg-reconfigure portmap (do not bind loopback)
sudo /etc/init.d/portmap restart

sudo vi /etc/exports (add the following line to /etc/exports)
/path/on/server 192.168.X.X(rw,sync,no_root_squash,subtree_check)
Where the ip is the ip of the client machine.

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
sudo exportfs -av


Howto install NFS on the client (9.04):

sudo apt-get install portmap nfs-common
sudo mkdir /path/on/client

Manual mount: (type this in a terminal on the client)
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.X.X:/path/on/server /path/on/client
Where ip address is ip of the server.

Automatic mount:(add this to the fstab on the client)
192.168.X.X:/path/on/server /path/on/server nfs
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr (all one line)


Done. Lookout for making type-o's.
