Hi Richard and list,

- I think the above looks like a safe path. I tried it out on a VMware machine 
(SuSE9.2) - this was fine, except I never got the USB to work - but that was 
due to the VM. On real hardware, however, I ran into trouble. It gave me some 
weird X-error that I don't think that even JM had ever heard of. I posted a 
question regarding this error some time ago, one sec... I'll go find his 
answer...yup, here it is. Only the question though, I did send the lts.conf 
file, but I didn't see any further on this:

But, generally speaking, backing up and/or renaming will do the trick. I mean, 
just keep the entire directory path to some safe place, keep a backup of 
exports, dhcpd.conf, hosts.allow and we're done. Right?

OFF TOPIC: I ran into a pile of brand new Mac/G4s that a school wants to use 
as thin clients. I've started a thread on this list regarding this. I'm 
keeping a close eye on this - and I wish I knew more about Macs. Apparently 
the worlds greatest machine, only I fail to see where it's so great... :-)

If anyone reading this can help me transform my mind about Macs as thin 
clients, I'll be most gratefull!

As always, thank you in advance!
