If you havn't got one handy, before going out and buying one try mounting your disks using wsize & rsize 1024, ie: mount -t nfs -o -r=1024,-w=1024 sunmachine:/exported /mnt This'll make your compiles start working if the performance of your network card is the problem..... If things don't work after doing this, well, *shrug*. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
