That should do it! For the mount to work, your NFS host needs to be configured correctly and that's out of the scope of this wiki page. Just be wary of the user id mappings etc. if you want to use the mountpoint as a non-root user.

=== Installing ===

#You must be able to access the device as root.

#repository.maemo.org must be in your tablet's apt sources list.

The first requirement can be fulfilled in a number of ways ([[Root access#The R&amp;D way (Nokia 770 only) (Linux or Mac OS X needed)|R&amp;D mode]], [[Root access#easyroot|easyroot]], becomeroot, or [[Root access#OpenSSH|OpenSSH server]]). My favorite is the SSH approach, since then I can utilize my PC's keyboard for entering all the commands.

The second is achieved by adding repository.maemo.org / chinook / free non-free to the Application manager catalogue or by editing /etc/apt/sources.list accordingly.
