: All right, I'll bite. What's the point of having mount_nfs, mount_msdos, 
: etc. if we're not supposecd to use them? Also, the documentation in 2.1R

"mount -t xxx -o yyy" is implemented by running "mount_xxx yyy".  This
isn't necessarily standard (and IMO should be hidden better... maybe
in a directory called /sbin/mount ?
