Date: 21 Jun 1993 17:45:05 GMT Organization: Physiology Department, The University of Melbourne Lines: 14 Distribution: world Message-ID: <204s31INN3lt@ariel.ucs.unimelb.EDU.AU> NNTP-Posting-Host: rabbit.physiol.unimelb.edu.au I am investigating setting aside some disk space on one of our lab PCs (486/DX33 - 8Meg) so it can also be used as an X-terminal. (When not DOSing) I imagine something along the lines of 20 Meg (10 Meg root / 10 Meg swap) on the local disk with the rest (/usr, all Xfree86 stuff and perhaps /bin?) NFSed from a nearby Sparc. Do you have any experience with this kind of setup? If so, drop me a line. Suggestions on pitfalls to avoid would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance -David Leask
