as well as the FC6 kernel binary and source rpms as well
as the FC6 patches...

We have recently moved the nfs mounting code out of util-linux
and into the nfs-utils rpm. So please try the nfs-utils in
http://people.redhat.com/steved/fscache/nfs-utils/

Note: the nfs-utils-lib and libgssapi rpms will also be
needed as well which are also available from my people page.
