Mounting nfs file system (but not as root)

How do i mount my nfs file system as a normal user

I'll get the message only root can mount as i usr the mount command

And secondly from my laptop i can not use the fstab file because eth0 is not loaded when linux runs my fstab file ?? it loads my pcmcia card after that almost at the end of my startup routine

does anyone knows a way arround

well just add the mount command to /etc/rc.local you'll still mount it as root, as you should do. you probably can still use fstab tho, as long as there's no auto option for that line, then you can mount it under whatever fstab conditions you want

Why can i mount /dev/fd0 as user and not use the mount command for my nfs share ??

presumably the 'user' option is set for fd0, but not nfs in fstab
