    <title>Introduction</title>

    <para>This tool<footnote>
        <para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing
        <emphasis role="bold">diskdrake --nfs</emphasis> as root.</para>
      </footnote> allows you to declare some shared directories to be
    accessible to all users on the machine. The protocol used for this is NFS
    which is available on most Linux or Unix systems. The shared directory
    will be thus available directly at boot. Shared directories can be also
    accessible directly in a single session for a user with tools such as file
    browsers.</para>

    <title>Procedure</title>

    <para>Select <guibutton>search servers</guibutton> to obtain a list of
    servers which share directories.</para>

    <para>Click on the > symbol before the server name to display the list
    of the shared directories and select the directory you want to
    access.</para>

    <mediaobject ns2:href="diskdrake--nfs2.png">
      <imageobject>
        <imagedata fileref="diskdrake--nfs2.png"/>
      </imageobject>
    </mediaobject>

    <para>The button <guibutton>Mount point</guibutton> will be available and
    you have to specify where to mount the directory.</para>

    <mediaobject ns2:href="diskdrake--nfs3.png">
      <imageobject>
        <imagedata fileref="diskdrake--nfs3.png"/>
      </imageobject>
    </mediaobject>

    <para>After choosing the mount point, You can mount it. You can also
    verify and change some options with the <guibutton>Options</guibutton>
    button. After mounting the directory, you can unmount it with the same
    button.</para>

    <para>On accepting the configuration with the <guibutton>Done</guibutton> button, a message will
    displayed, asking "Do you want to save the /etc/fstab modifications". This
    will make the directory available at each boot, if the network is
    accessible. The new directory is then available in your file browser, for
    example in Dolphin.</para>
