which nfs client package(s)
 
Hi there
What is the package(s) needed in order to set up an nfs client on linpus linux lite(which is based on fedora 8)? is it nfs-common or nfs-utils or what?
Thank you for your time

To have an nfs client, means you want to be able to mount nfs shared drives from a server somewhere. For that, you need mount.nfs - usually /sbin/mount.nfs.
On my Red Hat 5.x system here which I think might have been based around Fedora8 timeframe, that is available from the package nfs-utils.

I am suprised that you don't have mount.nfs already installed. However, if you have access to yum, you can just type `yum whatprovides */mount.nfs` and it will tell you what package has that.
