I've done this before. Unfortunately debian doesn't like a read-only root. The way I made it work was to mount --bind read-write copies of all the files on root that needed to be rw, or the files I just needed to be different on the client than the server, very early in the boot process. After that it worked, except that NFS randomly died so much I gave up on it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
