Why don't you use the NFS auto-mounter instead of mounting the remote partitions at boot time, it will speed up your boot time(probably not much unless you have a lot of NFS mounts) and will allow your networking subsystem to be initalized fully at boot. Then when ever accessed your NFS partitions will be automaticly mounted. Look in /etc/auto.master for config details or `man auto.master` and `man autofs` Steve Matt Wette said: > I have FC1 running on my Gateway M500 laptop which uses > wireless DHCP hookup to my home network.
