My experience has been otherwise -- I use OpenOffice on a network of machines running Fedora Core, all of which mount via NFS a filesystem on a central file server machine (also FC). I haven't noticed problems getting OpenOffice to open files in this filesystem. So either "NFS shares" doesn't mean what I think it means, or the claim "OpenOffice does not work with files on NFS shares" is a little strong? -- -- blm --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
