+This is the Linux NFS utility package version 0.1.5. It is based on
+knfsd 1.4.7.
+
+WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.13 are not compatible with
+other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an
+NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should get the Linux NFS
+kernel from the Linux NFS CVS server:
+
+1. Set the environment variable, CVS_RSH, to ssh.
+2. Login to the Linux NFS CVS server:
+
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs login
+
+without password if it is your first time.
+
+3. Check out the current Linux 2.2 NFS kernel:
+
+a. From the NFS V2 branch:
+
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co -r linux-2-2-nfsv2 linux-2.2
+
+b. From the main trunk:
+
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co linux-2.2
+
+4. If you don't want to use the current NFS kernel, you can find out
+for which kernels the NFS patch is available:
+
+# cd linux-2.2
+# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs status -v Makefile
+
+Then generate the kernel patch:
+
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs rdiff -ko -u -r linux-2-2-xx -r linux-2-2-xx-nfsv2-xxxxx linux-2.2
+
+If there is no NFS patch for the kernel you are interested in, you have
+to make a patch closest to your kernel version and apply it by hand.
+
+There is a Linux NFS kernel source tree for Linux 2.3, linux-2.3, on
+the Linux NFS CVS server. We will need all the help we can get. To
+contribute to the Linux NFS project, please go to
+
+http://www.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org
+
+You register yourself. Please send an email to
+nfs-admin@linuxnfs.sourceforge.org with
+
+1. Your user id on www.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org.
+2. The area in NFS you'd like to work on.
+
+You will be notified when it is done.
+
+There is a Linux NFS mailing list at
+
+http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/nfs/                                                               
+You can subscribe it and search the mailing list archive via a web
+browser.
+
+The nfs-utils package is available from the CVS server:
+
+# cvs -z 3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co nfs-utils
+
+will get the latest version.
+
+The files are
+
+ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/nfs-utils-0.1.5.tar.gz
+ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/nfs-utils-0.1.4-0.1.5.diff.gz
+
+To compile, just do
+
+# ./configure
+# make
+
+# make install
+
+will install the nfs-utils binaries. You have to install the NFS
+service scripts. There are 2 in etc/redhat provided for RedHat 6.x.
+They are tested on RedHat 6.1.
+
+On RedHat 6.1, you can use
+
+# rpm -ta nfs-utils-0.1.5.tar.gz
+
+to build the source and binary RPMs.
+
+If your mount from util-linux is too old, you will need 2 patches:
+
+ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/util-linux-2.9o-mount-nfsv3.patch
+ftp://ftp.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org/pub/nfs/util-linux-2.9w-mount-nfsv3try.patch
+
+Thanks.
