Re: [Sheflug] NFS the hard way

[James Wallbank <nospam [at] lowtech.org>]

Hi Guennadi,

I like the idea of running the machine as client, not server. The 
only problem is I'm running the target machine as a client...

>3) Run this machine as client, not server - the other one as server. In
>this case you might be able to boot, say, from a single-floppy Linux
>(e.g. tomsrtbt)...

..using tomsrtbt just as you suggest! The problem is that the target 
h/d is completely empty. It's just formatted with hda1 (ext2) and 
hda2 (swap) just like the original machine - I want to transfer the 
whole of the OS across if I can. Of course, if only tomsrtbt (or 
another Linux from floppy) had NFS server capability built in...

Cheers,

James
