setting up NFS - help!

[Kevin Coffman]

Unfortunately, I don't have a Debian or Ubuntu machine handy where I
can grab their startup scripts.  Maybe you do?

Have you seen this page yet?
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/using-nfsv4.html
Ignore the references to debian init scripts because they have since
been removed.  I believe these instructions are still relevant besides
that.  Hopefully, that is enough to get you started?
