Now the 64k$ question is, will an NFS export work now?  Its getting 
late on this side of the planet & I ran 18 bags of handicrete into a 
footer hole earlier today, so I'm not as fresh as I might have been 
70 years ago.

I've long since forgotten the syntax to setup an NFS share, the last 
time sev3eral folks tried to be helpfull I couldn't get past some 
sort of a no permission error.  Its still turned on in sysconfig, and 
I get an error from NSF4 on booting, something about a missing RPC 
MTAB, whatever the heck that is.  And its apparently not precious as 
it doesn't show in the messages or dmesg files, so I'd have to take a 
screen snapshot to record it.

So I'll essentally be starting from scratch.

Since the older nfsutils is now installed, I just ran a couple of 
service nfs restarts, and this looks promising:
[root at coyote init.d]# service nfs restart
Shutting down NFS mountd:                                  [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS daemon:                                  [FAILED]
Shutting down NFS quotas:                                  [FAILED]

Starting NFS quotas:                                       [  OK  ]

Starting NFS mountd:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS4 idmapd: Error: RPC MTAB does not exist.
[root at coyote init.d]# service nfs restart
Shutting down NFS mountd:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS daemon:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS quotas:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS services:                                [  OK  ]
Starting NFS services:                                     [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon:                                       [  OK  ]
Starting NFS mountd:                                       [  OK  ]

So now at least, with the older fc1 version installed, that some 
progress has been made.  At least NFS is not taking a silent crap 
now.  I just fixed the fstab line according to the manpage and 
another restart was equally successfull. It was pointing to an iso 
repository that no longer existed.  Now it does.  More tomorrow.
