> how to do BL3 computer to BL2 computer with nfs 

First run the NFS server on BL2 (let me know if you want 
instructions for this).  Make sure the address of the BL3 
computer has permission (in /etc/exports) to access the 
server.

The default BL3 kernel (zimage) does not have NFS capability.
Replace it with the bare.i bzimage from Slackware 7.1.  If you
are booting BL3 from DOS, you will need to edit boot.bat to
change zimage to bzimage.  If you are booting BL3 with lilo,
you will need to edit /etc/lilo.conf and execute lilo -v.

Once you can ping between the systems, do the following on
the BL3 system:
-------------------
mount clark:/  /mnt
-------------------
This assumes that the system running the NFS server is clark.

I have never been an mc user, so I am not familiar with how mc 
normally works.  However, going by the manpage, it appears that 
you run mcserv on a remote system and it opens up the remote 
filesystem to mc (running locally).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Midnight Commander file system is a network base file system 
that allows you to manipulate the files in a remote machine as if 
they were local.  To use this, the remote machine must be running 
the mcserv server program.  To connect to a remote machine, you 
just need to chdir into a special directory which name is in the 
following format:
                     mc:[user@]machine[:port][remote-dir]

The, user, port and remote-dir elements are optional.
