I'm using a cutdown linux client that PXE boots to install a custom linux
distro. It all works ok ... ish.

The only thing I cant solve is the NFS client takes 20 mins to mount a
volume ! Its not a server problem because if I use a full Linux to mount
the same volume its instant.

Anyone any ideas whats wrong with it ?

Thanks,
Jon

Use tcpdump or ethereal (on the NFS server) to capture client requests
to the server.
Probably something to do with name resolution.
Pls post more information if available.
