Hello! Mark is right of course, but a completely crazy thought occurred to me earlier. About your laptop, did you have a chance to configure both a unique user name, and a machine name? That might be confusing the NFS process. If all else, would it be possible to use that starter system to create an image that could be used as a "mount point" to create those images that our correspondent could use to create others? Including the one that's concerning this discussion. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
