Re: NFS service through tcp.

    To add support for NFS over tcp to the latest RedHat 9 kernel, install
the kernel-source-2.4.20-42.9.legacy rpm.  In /usr/src/linux-2.4 copy
from configs the .config file whose name best corresponds to the kernel
you're running, such as, say, kernel-2.4.20-i686-smp.config.  Do 'make
xconfig', then within it --> filesystems --> network file systems, set NFS
Server over TCP to "y", then save and exit (from the menu page).  Edit the
EXTRAVERSION of Makefile to indicate the new kernel's properties, such as
'-42.9smpNFS-TCP'.  Then build a new kernel with:

 make dep
 make bzImage (kernel now in /usr/src/linux-2.4/arch/i386/boot/bzImage)
 make modules
 make modules_install (This installs the modules to the /lib/modules
directory, /lib/modules/2.4.20-42.9smpNFS-TCP)
 make install (this will copy your new kernel and its associated files
into /boot and executes the /sbin/new-kernel-pkg script that builds a new
initrd image and adds new entries to /boot/grub/grub.conf).
 Edit grub.conf so that the new kernel is default.
