  precisely.  when i've tried this before on other linux distros
(explicitly deactivating earlier versions of NFS), i've had complaints
that at least one earlier version of NFS *must* be active.  there
didn't appear to be any reason for that.  so i just want to know if
this is theoretically possible.
