Some time ago I saw on freshmeat.net a package for running linux 
using the AOL dialup service. The package acted in a similar fashion to
PPP in that it provided an IP protocol and address to the linux machine
tunneled over the closed AOL dialup protocol.

I don't know how well it works as I never had the reason to use it
yet.

Hope this is of some help.

NFS mounted /usr

2000-07-28 Thread Fire Dragon
I'm trying to build a small lan and being a bit short on HD space (250MB to
500MB tops) I wanted to have /home /usr and so forth be NFS mounted. I'm
currently having a problem in which the /usr partition that is exported is
corrupted by the client machine (broke exim when I installed ssmtp for
example).

Since I have obviously done something wrong in this I was wondering if
anyone could point me to some instructions for getting /usr to be ignored by
dpkg/apt/... in package installations.

TIA
