I have an old 486 with a few hard drives in it that I want to use as a server. I'd like to store debian-packaged apps such as gcc, x11, xemacs etc on the server, yet keep some functionality on my local drive so I don't need the server all the time.
what is the best way to do this under debian? I thought of exporting/mounting /usr on the server, but will that cause major problems? What if I have a local /usr directory? Will I still be able to access it when not using the server? Also, what does the group think about using a /apps directory instead of /usr ? I know it's not filesystem standard, but it seems this might get around a lot of problems of mounting /usr remotely. btw I have about 500MB of local space and up to 4GB on the server. Thanks for any advice you can give me! Chris please cc: me via email. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
