ok, i stand corrected. agree that *most* NAS boxes don't do nfs (at least not without being modded) b/c they are targeted at Windows clients. my linkstation live could probably be hacked to install the nfs daemon, but i don't want to brick it trying. probably should have gone with the slug as it seems more hackable and less vulnerable to ham-fisted modders like me... -- rov ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rov's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10787 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39246 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
