I am not implying or suggesting anything beyond the published directions. Unfortunately, I do not have access to an equipment lab as the authors do nor can I comment regarding what may or may not be "hardcoded". > 2) When doing a manual installation I am _not_ prompted for the NFS > server and directory on which I want to install YDL. Being human unfortunately means being woefully limited in both precise description and the ability to offer assistance without reference to such a working lab/technical environment which the authors have access to. My apologies for a faulty interpretation. I understand you don't have an account manager yet and you took the "try before you buy" approach. Reasonable as far as that goes, however consider that the information you need is in setting up your system with YDL6 so that you can get a sense of how it works. You already have YDL6, having attained it from the public mirrors. If you consider that what you would really "buy" from TSS, isn't YDL6 at all but the nature of service provided by TSS -- essentially their expertise -- in taking you further as a functioning network providing services for your users. That, in my way of thinking, is something worth paying for. However you can't get a snapshot or overview of how well YDL6 works until you get over your current technical conundrum. I have no knowledge of all the services which TSS provides nor under what conditions services are provided under contract. One method which could allow you a richer information resource as you continue to "explore" YDL6 for your purposes is to consider participating with the ydl.net service. The current mailing list is one "free" information resource, another free resource is: A Yellow Dog Linux IRC channel on the FreeNode IRC Network in addition to channels for many other open source projects. #yellowdog can be accessed via an IRC client such as "XChat" at 'irc.freenode.net'. The application which functions as XChat did is called Pidgin (labeled Internet Messenger) within YDL6. As for myself, I'm a longtime user of YDL, and am skilled in the current release. However, as I hinted at earlier I don't have the TSS lab setup and I certainly don't have a QS21. There may be others who do, and perhaps they may communicate via this list but I'm not sure that the odds are good that waiting for them is a plan which meets your needs. It may be worth your time, especially as you've already made this much effort, to speak with TSS directly and explore what may be the more efficient and reasonable approach to engage upon from this point. All the best... ===== "If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ...
