For USB, you could get around that by exporting the directory where the mounts happen over NFS. As for the audio issue, you would have to look at playing with one of the network sound systems. I have never had much fun playing around with those. Like I was saying, for the richest possible experience, you'd want to see if you can run SRS directly on the host. There was a thread on this list a while back talking about AMGH which you'd probably find relevant. The more I think of it, SRS itself is the solution to the question that originally started this thread. > Thanks. > Seth > > John Francis wrote: >> >> Hi Chris, >> >> There are a number of ways of doing this. >> >> 1.
