Its a bad idea as you can see, you need to hardcode this into the kernel source code for the command line (unless you have good boot loader, grub is one, but i didnt have success in putting up Grub, the stages file size are too big for embedded systems ), and something that is hardcoded is certainly not good. But yes it is a good idea if you have thin clients and that you know the IP of NFS Server and the path is never going to change. Choice is yours :) Best Regards, Mitul Limbani CTO, Enterux Solutions The Enterprise Linux Company (TM) http://www.enterux.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
