hmm, mybe that has something to do with the fact that most of us are dealing with diskless (Hard drive free) workstations 8)
When a regular PC starts up, it goes straight to it's local hard drive to read the operating system. But a diskless workstation gets it's operating system from the server through the network, never needing a local hard drive for anything. The curious part is that it is many times easyer to manage EPROMS on network cards than it is hard drives on computers 8) Though that's not the end of local hard drives, I have been thinking about using a workstation's local hard drive to become a backup server, anyone out there have done it? I'd like to read about it 8) --- Angel Gabriel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been lurking on this mailing list for a little > while, and I've also > attempted to research on the net a little. > > How come it's possible to access the CD-ROM, the > floppy drive, even the > sound on a local workstation, but I have never seen > any metion of accessing > the local hard drive? > > Can anyone shed a little light on this please? > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _____________________________________________________________________ > Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
