I read the FAQ refereed to above so I see why putting the nfs mounts in the fstab for a laptop is generally a bad idea. My problem now is how to enter the nfs mount information into network.opts. I have "googled" busily in an attempt to solve this, but cant. As I understand it I have to list the nfs mounts normally in the fstab, but use the "noauto" option, then I list the nfs mount points in the MOUNT variable in network.opts with a space in between. I have done this, rebooted, and they still do not mount.

Yes good.

Maybe
MOUNTS="/home /mnt/store"
or
MOUNTS=/home /mnt/store
Try one entry first if it dioes not work.
Can you mount manually?
Cheers :)
