Hello, I am wondering how to set up systems in this way:
* A Debian server, with a large hard disk, with a fairly full install of Debian. * Multiple Debian client machines, with small hard disks (often 100 meg or less). I'd like to mount, at minimum, /usr from the Debian server. /usr should be mounted over NFS in read-only mode. My questions are: * How do I go about installing packages on the client? I would assume that I install packages in the normal way on the server, but that wouldn't update the client's /etc directory. However, I do not want to try to install on the client since it would fail if it tries to write anything in /usr. * How do I remove packages? Again, if I remove from the server, there may still be files left in the client's /etc and /var directories. * What is the suggested method for going about this?
