I also know that the NFS has no problems since I was able to mount it and work with it from the RH computer, that is configured as the Debian one is (except for the hostname and ip). This is a Debian problem. BTW: When I get it to work (And it will work today, whether the machine wants to or not), what is the directory to mount? (/dists, /dists/hamm, /dists/hamm/hamm, /dists/hamm/hamm/binary-i386 , any other locatoin?) - just to save my time...
