Hello, I went through the motions to get NFS mounts working on a freshly installed N800 with the same IT OS version as you have. I thought I'd share the steps on the device side of how I got it working. I'll leave the PC side (NFS server) out of this description. There's one package (nfs-common) which seems to be a bit broken dependency-wise that caused most of the problems for me, so I ended up installing that by hand and not through apt-get. To get started, I had just flashed my N800 and made sure it's in RD mode (--enable-rd-mode with the commandline flasher). First thing I did was to add the repository.maemo.org bora free non-free to the application manager. From there I can get osso-xterm and so I did. I started an xterm session and installed ssh with apt-get just to be able to login to the device from my pc and to be able to run script to record what I did: $ ssh <device_ip> -l root root@<device_ip>'s password: BusyBox v1.4.1 (2007-03-12 19:00:25 EET) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

The nfs-common package will be fixed once I get to it. Currently it tries to remove some other packages because of some dependency issues. Hope this helps, Juha -- Juha Kallioinen
