-   Howto: To setup nbd, you can simply do the following:
-
-   First, serve a device or file from a remote server:
-
-   nbd-server <port-number> <device-or-file-to-serve-to-client>
-
-   e.g.,
-	root@server1 # nbd-server 1234 /dev/sdb1
-
-	(serves sdb1 partition on TCP port 1234)
-
-   Then, on the local (client) system:
-
-   nbd-client <server-name-or-IP> <server-port-number> /dev/nb[0-n]
-
-   e.g.,
-	root@client1 # nbd-client server1 1234 /dev/nb0
-
-	(creates the nb0 device on client1)
-
    The nbd kernel module need only be installed on the client
    system, as the nbd-server is completely in userspace. In fact,
    the nbd-server has been successfully ported to other operating
