-The 'rw' is also important.  It prevents the fsck of the root fs. because root is NFS and can't be checked.  Slackware won't boot properly if we give 'ro'.  Instead of doing this you could optionally hack fsck out of the slackware startup scripts on your NFS root, however simply using 'rw' is quicker (albeit dirtier).+The 'rw' is also important.  It prevents the fsck of the root fs. because root is NFS and can't be checked.  Slackware won't boot properly if we give 'ro'.  Instead of using 'rw' you could optionally hack fsck out of the slackware startup scripts on your NFS root, however simply using 'rw' is quicker (albeit dirtier).
