Maybe it's not the right addressee, but i've recently attempted to
install a Slackware-based distribution (and failed for some reason i
won't go into here). One thing i didn't like with the NFS
installation was that it didn't give me the opportunity to configure a
name server before actually using the NFS server address, so i had to
configure it from another VT manually (which non-Unix gurus wouldn't
know how to handle).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
