I *knew* I'd forgotten to do something before I archived it up! Actually you
just need a mount that has the nfs options. I figured that mount, umount and
shutdown were sufficiently critical that it was best to be certain.

Strange. It shouldn't be passing the 4th field to mount but it should be
looking for the noauto option in there and using it to determine whether or
not that filesystem should be mounted at boot time or not. I'll check it...

The 99.6 version of mount introduced the idea of the noauto flag in the 4th
field to indicate that the filesystem should not be mounted by a mount -a so
I took that to mean it shouldn't be mounted at boot time either. If there
are any other conventions let me know and I'll shove 'em in.

That's got me beat though. Works for me... How are you starting X? startx?
xinit? xdm? Where from? Command line? Inittab? What applications are started
automatically when you start X up?
