Doh! :) I'm well aware of this. The problem here isn't diskspace. The
problem is that _it_ (openafs-client) DEPENDS on the module...

If I don't have a module (openafs-module2 i think the package
is called?), it REQUIRE the openafs-module-source (which in turn
depends on a WHOLE LOT of stuff that I _defenatly_ DON'T want on
a server)...
[oki, sorry. You saw what I meant with this later in the mail]
I think it's a _good thing_ (tm) that openafs-client depends on the
module (or the source), but the servers shouldn't...
Having bos (and what not) in a separate package would probably INCREASE
diskspace (AND complicates things) with a couple of megs, but that's not
the problem (for me, it might be for the archive though).
And bos isn't really a _client_ (in machine terms, only in software
design terms) so having that in a separate (OR in the server packages)
package makes more sence... There you could (for the sake of it - making
it 'legit') put the server config files and setup etc... Kind'a a
'openafs-servers-common' or something...
But on the other hand, having 'bos' on the client (machine), is kind'a
nice. I usually don't need it there, but I guess it can be considered
to be a 'nice feature' (tm :).

BUMMER! To say the least! I'm was hoping to throw away the last i386
I have left with some SPARC64's instead... Ah, well. Guess I have
to keep it around a while longer then...

I have barely tried it. I installed it, it didn't work 'right of the
rack' (so to speak) and I gave up (for the time beeing. I have more
pressing matters at the moment (getting a kernel that doesn't crash
all the time on my new U1's for example :).
Looks like the 2.6.15-rc5 kernel works fine, so I'll get back to you
on the working of 1.4 visavi 1.3... That'll be another bug if any...
Thanx for the help
