Reason: Not enough HD on the PC (486DX, 16megs ram, 40Mb HD). The PC must be able to run MS-DOS programs from the hard disk for my work. Available equipment: A Sun 3/60 with 700Mb of disk for a file server. What I have tried already: Creating a bootable floppy with a Kernel (NFS included at compile). Copying 'mount' from full the distribution. But mount won't allow me to a mount -t nfs. I have used the very same kernel and mount on a PC to mount -t nfs onto the sun without any problems. HEEEELP! Where did I go wrong? Please mail responses as my news feed is not always available. Thanks, Tony Clark tony@monty.apana.org.au
