I have a tree /usr/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.2-ALPHA on a machine in my local net (off Internet) with only the bin dir and the toplevel files in it (INSTALL.TXT, HARDWARE etc.) and I'm mounting via NFS 192.168.0.1:/usr/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.2-ALPHA in the Media section. BTW, you can imagine that it is likely to mistype that mount command once or twice. I always had problems with trying it twice. Then I got 'no such process (3) or some such (off memory)' . > > Jordan > --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
