Well what does 'can't install' mean? You need to install it. If you're having trouble doing that then you need to tell us more info about that, we aren't psychic.

You may find this useful: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...fs-how-daemons. Note that if you've got NFSv4 (likely if it s recent Fedora release) then portmap is no longer reqd. This functionality has been folded into the nfs daemon. See also the other helper services so noted on that page.

can you explain how to install it ?

acid_kewpie · 12-06-2010, 11:40 AM

portmap should really already be installed, if not, run 'yum install portmap' as root

It may also be the case that installing nfs or nfsd with yum will be smart enough to also install dependencies like portmap..
It might also be the case that the OP doesn't correctly distinguish between 'not installed' and 'service not running'. My recollection is that Fedora will start up all dependency services for the NFS server by simply starting the NFS server. Try something like (as root):

Code:

service nfs start
##  .. or maybe
service nfsd start

--- rod.
