According to this: http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/nfs-server worldbooks used to support nfs and might be hackable to re-enable it. But, internal or USB drives are pretty cheap now. It might be easier to just use the worldbook for other data - or if you really want to hack it might be possible to make backuppc run directly on the device. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
