[ILUG] NFS version 2 tip with FC2T3

One problem I ran into with FC2T3 was that it wouldn't mount NFS off our
Cobalt Qube (mp3 server). After some investigation (nfsstat) it turned
out that the server was using NFS version2. My box only seemed to have
version 3. After some man page reading I discovered the nfsvers option.
Wasn't sure that was what I wanted so asked on #fedora if anyone had the
same issue. Decided to give it a whirl. So I added nfsvers=2 to the
fstab options and Robert's you fathers brother, it worked.

Just thought I'd post this tip in case it stumped anyone else. The
install CD kernel mounted the NFS no problem, which is what had me
confused (I installed off that NFS as I also have an iso dir up there).
