Unless you specifically deselect NFS, it will be installed. Just start the service:

[root@rhel5 ~]# service nfs start
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ]

Add your exports:

[root@rhel5 ~]# nano -w /etc/exports
[root@rhel5 ~]# cat /etc/exports
/exports/centos5.0 *(ro,sync)
[root@rhel5 ~]# exportfs -a

Note: In order to use NFS3, your are probably going to want to disable the firewall. At the root prompt type “system-config-securitylevel”:

RHEL 5 Disable Firewall
