The description in the Linux Network Admin Guide (ch 11) is simple and
worked without tweeks/hacks.  First time I tried it was on a single
computer.  Worked really well.  Then I tried it in a mixed environment,
Linux/Solaris.  Solaris NFS code seems to run much faster than Linux'.


George's Simple How To:
Server: Put the directory you want to export in /etc/exports
	Make sure portmapper is running.
Client: Make sure /etc/rc3.d/S25nfs is enabled
	mount -t nfs server:/directory mountpoint

Warning: Don't even THINK about putting either of these on your
firewall.
