Hopefully someone might be able to help out. OpenOffice apparently doesn't want to run across an NFS share unless a "link_relative" option is given in the exports file. http://digitaldistribution.com:8080/oocommunity/FAQs/faqinstall/faqinstall/35 Sure enough, OpenOffice simply won't run from an NFS export on my diskless client. Unless I can get this part of the equation playing this diskless client project is dead in the water for me. OpenOffice is just too critical an app. Is there some way to get a similar behavior to "link_relative" working? Is there a better route to take with getting OpenOffice to work across NFS?
