Hi John Check the Lightening website for a .deb download - .deb files are basically installers for Debian based systems (such as Ubuntu). I just went on the website to have a look for a link for you, but when I click download (even on the linux version) it redirects me to the Windows download

[ubuntu-uk] NFS Sharing a symbolic linked dir?

2009-02-12 Thread Ken Robson
Hi, I have set up a server with shared folders via NFS. e.g. share point/dir1 /dir2 /[symbolic link to dir3, mounted under /mnt/dir3] How do I share this properly? So that the client sees all 3 directories rather than a broken link for dir3? Thanks
