NFS failure at startup.

[Martin Spenceley]

ksysv is such a useful tool! Now why haven't I stumbled across it before?

As for run level stuff...
I think I've just realised I've had a _very large_ 'knowledge hole' here!
A lot more Linux internal stuff is now making sense!

Since I use Mac OS X as well, I am now realising how hard a job it's been
and how well Apple has hid the UNIX technie stuff from users!

I've got the nfs working now. Thanks a lot.
