Royce ltsp has paved the way and shown how What I've done (similar need, different app) make an nfs rooted host to do only 1 client, read-write. You need space on your server for ThatClient's root filesystem. In every respect your client is a stand-alone machine, with no disk and net boot. Note you may do this for one client only, but you have a standalone dedicated machine. (You can have lots of client setups like this on 1 server, just ThatClient uses ThatClientsRootFilesystem not shared ReadOnly as ltsp, ie you can't have two clients using ThatClientsRootFilesystem) James ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
