Mounting an nfs volume is is just a simple mount command, no different than mounting a cdrom. Were not talking about have NFSD on all machines, just a single master. I "think" all that the clients need to have in their kernels is "CONFIG_NFS_FS" And for those who don't have it in their kernel, maybe it would be a good chance compile it in as module and be done with it. Then it's available for other installfests if you need it. I use NFS @ home between my server and three clients, one 802.11b, and never had a problem. Stream MP3's all day long!
