kde 3.* in sid will it ever happen?

[r]

Is there any light in the tunnel for kde3 being uploaded in Sid some day, 
some year or so? 

I might be sounding a bit negative but haven't seen any progress or some 
sort of status from the maintaineres for some while now.. Is it still 
the transition to gcc 3.X that slows debians progress to be a useful desktop 
system? 

Cheers

Re: kde 3.* in sid will it ever happen?

[r]

Sorry for the empty mess. 

Geezzz I know. But as you state yourself it's not in SID, it for sure works 
with SID but it's official packages, even though that the packages you are 
refering to are mostly created by the package maintenars for kde in debian. 
What is holding back kde3 from being uploaded in SED then? 

I don't want to go on a "apt-get find the right apt-get lines for today" 
crusade. I don't want to go find packages in some rpm-findish way. I whant 
them in my standard apt-get lines, like the way all other packages are 
maintained. . 

Geez you can get the packages easily for sid. Even kde has the packages
hosted and did from the moment kde 3.0.3 came out and kde 3.0.1-3.0.2 has
been available for a while now and the locations have been publicized in a
number of locations. Just add the apt lines and install it. I have been
running kde 3.0.x in debian sid for a while now without any problems.

[Kconsole] Custom schemas / xterm colors ?

[R. Leponce]

Hi all,

Just a simple question: I'm trying kconsole instead of the standard
xterm(-color). kconsole seems to be quite good but I don't like the 
 'ls --color' output color. I prefer my ones defined in .Xresources
file. I tried sth like:
Kconsole*VT100*color0:  #00
Kconsole*VT100*color1:  #9e1828
Kconsole*VT100*color2:  #9e1828
Kconsole*VT100*color3:  #968a38

but it didn't work for Kconsole.


Any clue ??

KDE 3.0.4 ate my fonts

[R. Boyce]

Hi all,

I have a minor but very annoying problem: I'm running woody, and until
recently I had KDE 3.0.0 running perfectly on it (mostly due to advice
gleaned from this very list). Yesterday I upgraded to KDE 3.0.4 by putting
deb http://download.uk.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian/woody ./ in my
apt sources and installing all updated packages.

Everything's working fine except my TrueType fonts - they are all
installed fine according to Control Center -> System -> Font Installer,
but are not found in Control Center -> Look & Feel -> Fonts. Mozilla can
find the fonts and anti-aliases them as it should, but KDE it seems
cannot. My 3.0.0 had lovely anti-aliased TrueType fonts and I want them
back!

Anyone else had this problem and can offer some advice?

Thanks in advance,

Richard Boyce

apt-get dist-upgrade with ralf's stable

[R. Rodriguez]

Hi all. I use ralf's packages for sid, and i've just added the STABLE line in 
my sources (cause i want some apps, like kbiff). But now when i type 
dist-upgrade, it wants to upgrade 154 packages!!! Are stable ones newer than 
unstable ones or what? Should i upgrade or simply install the apps i want and 
delete the line?

Thanks in advance. Ralf, GREAT Job :)

libfam0

[R. Rodriguez]

Hi.

I've just installed a woody, and upgraded it to sid. When i apt-get install

installed, but right now i can't find it in my sources. 

Any ideas?? :(

The messages windows doesn't output ANYTHING :( The funny part is that when i 
press F10 (view log file) it doesn't work neither. It dumps the same message 
when i press the keys ranging from F1 to F12 (used in compilation or 
format1-to-format2 stuff mostly). If i run it from Konsole, it dumps nothin':

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kile
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject 
*parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance )

...and that's all. And shows that line when i run it, not when it dumps the 
error.

Not very helpful, isn't it? :(

Thx in advance

If you browse to http://apps.kde.com, there is a Koctave3 for kde3, and in

Why do exist kaboodle, noatun, kplayer (named in the latest kde cvs digest),

I 'm getting another strange effect after update Qt too. I cannot understand 
why things go such a way, but it seems to me both Michael's and my effect 
have the same source.

After blocking screen (by clicking right mouse button on the desktop and 
choosing "block screen" option from context menu) and activate the screen 
again the strange effect begins: every time I press "Enter" while "konsole" 
window has focus "konqueror" is launched. Before blocking and activating 
screen everyting woks fine.

Can anybody help me (give a hint) with such strange behaviour.

k3b & famd problem

[R. Rodriguez]

Hi. I've noticed that sometimes when i burn isos with k3b as root, famd starts 
eating 90%+ of my cpu. When k3b finishes, famd still behaves that way, and i 
can't even start some applications (i.e., psi) due to an "input output error" 
or something like that... When k3b finishes, famd is still on top of "top" :P

any advice?

I'm currently using kde from cvs, but since its removal doesn't break any

Hi,
Am having trouble since since I did an apt-get to upgrade from KDE 3.1.5 to 
3.2.
"cannot start kdeinit. Check your installation."
The system is kernel 2.6.0, KDE3.2 , XFree 4.2.1 on stable.
As I am just a user of this desktop and not technically experienced in 
tracking down the reasons I would like to know if there is something specific 
I can do, or will this be resolved in the next update?
Tried the archives but unfortunately did not give me anything greater 
understanding. Could it just be some some lib inconsistency?
When I log off it occasionally gives SISSEGV, but not always, and now Konq 
occasionally sissegv's (no specific site).
Would appreciate some guidance,
10x
Geny.

Keep it goin'!!

[R. Rodriguez]

Hi. I just wanted to congrat all the debian-kde packaging team. The 
experimental packages for 3.4 have been running incredibly well here for 
several days, and i think they are right releasing a pre2 before uploading to 
sid.

Keep it up!

RE: DCOP communication error!

I am running a similar software setup here...the only difference is that
I am running the "stock" 2.2.18 kernel that came with the Progeny iso
file when I got it back in April.  I initially installed the KDE 2.0
that came with Progeny, and subsequently upgraded to the latest &
greatest via kde.tdyc.com using apt-get dist-upgrade (FOR POTATO).  I do
NOT get the DCOP error here.  I would suspect something is wrong with
your install...I know of a couple of others that have done the same as
I, and don't have this error.  Sorry I can't pin-point your error, but I
thought you should know that it is NOT the Progeny - KDE 2.1.2 for
Potato combination that is giving you your problem.

Cheers & Good Luck!

Hi!

I have it working here.  The "trick" was to install the FLASH files to
one of the directories scanned by Konqueror for plugins and have it
re-scan for plugins.  The appropriate menu in Konqueror to do this is in
"Settings > Configure Konqueror > [Netscape Icon] > Scan Tab".  Mine
already had a list of directories to scan, including my Mozilla
directory (/usr/lib/mozilla-9.1/plugins) and Netscape.

You probably have to "enable plugins globally" under the same menu >
Konqueeror Browser Icon > Plugins TAb if you want it available to all
usersdunno, but I did it here & it "works".

I have been using Ivan's "Potato" version of KDE 2.1.2 since Progeny
Newton came out without problems.  Just install the Progeny version of
KDE (2.0 I think), then go to http://kde.debian.net/ and add the
appropriate lines from there to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.  Do an
"apt-get update", then an "apt-get upgrade" and it will be upgraded to
the 2.1.2 version!!

KLISA in Testing/Woody

[Donald R. Spoon]

I have been happily using klisa to browse my network Samba shares in KDE
compiled for Potato for over six months and have become somewhat
addicted to it.

Recently I upgraded to Debian Testing/Woody on one computer using
apt-get dist-upgrade and klisa stopped working.  I initially thought it
was something I did and re-checked and re-installed all the appropriate
files without any luck in getting it going.  Yesterday, I upgraded
another machine to Testing/Woody using the new boot-floppies and got the
same resultsno ability to browse my network shares.

The problem is that the LAN is NOT displayed on the Konqueror "Network"
panel, like it used to be displayed.  Samba is installed and working on
all my Linux machines, and I have a mix of Samba 2.0.7 and 2.1 on the
various machines.  Klisa is running...at least I get the normal messages
on bootup and it has a PID that I can stop/start in the list of running
processes.  The KDE version is the same...2.1.1 on all machines.  I
cannot figure out what is going on.

If any one has klisa running under "testing" could you please tell me
how??  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Cheers,
-Don Spoon-

Success!

Most of this is probably the equivalent of "waving a dead chicken", but
its what worked here.  It is based on my previous experience getting
KLISA going on Potato back in April.  This is EXACTLY the procedure I
used on both machines to get it working.  I really don't know how much
is "fluff", but installing ALL the packages that used to be in the old
kdenetwork package is quite important.  My second machine didn't work
until I did this, even though I had klisa installed already.

1.  Install the equivalent of the old kdenetwork package, i.e. "ktalkd",
"ksirc", "kppp", "korn", "knode", "kmail", "klisa", "kit", and
"keystone".  If you do an "apt-get install kdenetwork" you will get a
message back with the list of the replacement packages.  

2.  Remove the ~.kde directory(s) in all your user(s) accounts,
including root.  This is OK, since the next time you login the ~.kde
directory will be re-built.  If you have made a lot of customizations to
your desktop, you will probably loose it & have to do it over.  This is
where the "gurus" can step in and tell us how to do it the "RIGHT way"
 without losing anything!

3.  Login to kde as "root".

4.  Use the KDE "appfinder" to find any extra programs not already on
the menus.  This is probably NOT necessary, but it is one of the things
I did.

5.  Open up the Control Center -> Network -> Lan Browsing screen and
enter in your Network values to setup KLISA globally.  Be sure to
"apply" the changes.  I just entered in my LAN IP numbers
(192.168.10.0/255.255.255.0) every where it showed the localhost IP
numbers. Checkout all the tabs, although I didn't have to change any of
the default selections here.

6.  Open up the Control Center -> Web Browsing -> Windows Shares screen
and enter your WORKGROUP name and any other info you want.  Note that
"root" is normally NOT allowed to login to Samba.  I just left those
blank on the "root" screen.  Apply these changes and check out the
sidebar on Konqueror.  It should now have a "Local Network" selection
under the "Network" selection.  You can also use the "Home Directory"
icon on the taskbar to do this check.  

7.  If everything is there, logout of your "root" section and Login as a
"user"

8.  Repeat steps #5 and #6 above in the user account.  Note you WILL
want to provide a default username and password in step 6 for this
"user".  You probably will have to do this for ALL other users on your
machine.


You should now be able to browse your Samba networked
computersproviding SAMBA is already setup and working correctly.

Cheers & Good Luck!

KLISA problems again

[Donald R. Spoon]

I just upgraded two different machines (and archs) to KDE 2.2 from
unstable.  Generally a great job...especially on my DEC ALPHA!!  I have
been waiting a long time for KDE to show up for it.  Thanks!!  The other
machine is a i386 "upgrade" from KDE 2.1.2.  I am running Debian
"testing" on both machines.  

I am having one tiny problem in KLISA that I hope someone can help
with.  When I pull up Konqueror, or the "Home" destop icon and expand
the "Network" tree on the sidebar, every thing goes as it should and I
get the "FTP Archives", "Local Network", and "Web Sites" selections
displayed.  When I try to expand the "Local Network" selection, I get an
error message stating "Can't Find parent item lan://localhost/ in the
tree.  Internal Error", and the "Local Network" icon just sort of hangs
with a spinning disk overlay.
In previous versions, this would expand into the hostnames of all the
computers on my LAN.  This happens on both machines I have KDE 2.2.1
installed upon, and my other machines that still have KDE 2.1.1
installed continue to work normally.  Samba on the network is working
normally, as it did before...there were no changes there on any of my
machines during the upgrade process(es).  

Now if I type in "lan://localhost/" into the Konqueror "location" bar,
it finds it.  It also will find the machines on my network via
"smb:///, etc.  It appears Konqueror is working fine, but
somehow the interlink between Klisa and Konqueror is not working
correctly.  This same thing happens on both machines, but on the ALPHA I
get an additional error: "You don't appear to have any interfaces
installed".

So far, I have purged and re-installed both Konqueror and Klisa, read
all the docs I could find, checked and re-checked all my config
settings, checked the BTL on both Debian and KDE, deleted the ~.kde
directories in both ROOT and my USER accounts, and have not found any
clues or resolution.  Since I am the only one reporting this problem, I
must conclude it is probably NOT a "bug", but something I am doing
wrong.

Any suggestions, hints, confirmations, etc. would be greatly
appreciated!!  I am more interested in getting it going on the i386 arch
at the moment.  I have become acustomed to this little utility, and
really like it a lot! 

TIA & Cheers,
-Don Spoon-

konsole issues

[Justin R. Miller]

I'm running unstable, so I have KDE 2.2.1.  Whenever I make an app
launcher and check 'run in terminal', it runs the app (like Mutt) inside
of an xterm and not konsole.  I've even looked into the whole
System::Konsole::General section of kcontrol and those settings have no
effect.  Any ideas as to why this happens?

Thanks for the tip (you too David) -- using update-alternatives did the
trick.  I still can't figure out why KDE wasn't paying attention to the
setting in kcontrol though -- that is the very one I was toggling.  I'd
like to think that it would work and I wouldn't have to change the
system-wide default (though it's ok in this case).

That is EXACTLY the problem...Woody doesn't come this way "out of the
box".  You have to add all your users to the audio group and then do a
re-boot.  You can use the KDE "user manager" to do this rather easily or
you can use the "addgroup" at a root command-line prompt.  

There is something "fishy" about the cdrom permissions too.  I could not
play audio CDs as a user, again because of a permissions problem.  The
problem seems to be on the actual device  itself (/dev/hdc) rather than
on the /dev/cdrom, which is just a sym-link.  I changed my /dev/hdc and
/dev/hdd (both CDROMS) to 777 and it started working ok.  This probably
causes some sort of security hole, but I can live with it
All things are working nicely now!

KDE by default has a thirty second timeout on artsd, so it will take
over /dev/dsp until then.  Try using another arts* program or I believe
you can wrap the program in artdsp (if it's anything like esound was a
few years back).

I have done a couple of installs of Debian testing (Woody) over the last
few weeks.  I was testing out the new boot-floppies to see how they were
coming along.  Anyway, I could get most of the basic KDE stuff by just
doing an "apt-get install kde" after the initial install.  This gets you
a Minimal working KDE set, but you will be missing the crypto stuff,
some games, some audio progs, and some networking progs.  I don't recall
if the KOffice stuff came in the basic set, but I believe it did.  

I would recommend for starters you apt-get the kde and the
kdebase-crypto packages.  This should be sufficient to get you going. 
BTW, these two also are all you need to get going with the new KDE 2.2.1
from "unstable".  You can add extra pacakges you might want later.

I don't know where they are stored, but if you right-click on the icon
on the task-bar, you will get a pop-up menu.  Choose "Preferences" and
click again on the icon on the next pop-up right under the "General"
tab.  This will bring up a third screen where you can pick&choose what
ever icon you want it to be.  It even allows you to "browse" your system
to pick one that may not be in the KDE set.  I have found this the
easiest way to change the icons.

My experiences over the past couple of weeks using the kde metapackage
parallels Bob's.  I have done a total of 3 install using this
method...one on a Dec Alpha, and 2 on Pentium machines.  The Dec Alpha
KDE install was the first version of KDE on that machine, and went from
start to finish smoothly without any errors.  The other two machines had
KDE 2.1.2 installed and "bombed out", requiring the "apt-get -f install"
to clear out the log-jam.  I would then resume with "apt-get -t unstable
install kde" until it completed or bombed out again.  Repeating this
cycle resulted in a completely satisfactory install on both machines.

During the time of the two Pentium installs, my access to some of the
servers...mainly the non-US servers, was spotty.  I am fairly sure the
reason for the "bomb-outs" was the inability to retrieve a file from
these servers.  The repeat(s) cleared these up.

The "apt-get -f install" command seems to only clear up packages from
the install queue.  It doesn't remove them from your machine, causing
you to have to re-download them.  In other words, it just installs what
it can, then resumes the d/l and install process from where it stopped.

BTW, these observations assume you are running Debian "testing" and are
installing KDE 2.2.1 from "unstable" using the apt-get preferences
method.  

I would make two recommendations:

1.  Install KDE 2.2.1 "fresh" if you can.  This is easy if you are
installing Debian fresh on a system.  Otherwise, you might want to
remove the existing KDE install, before you put the new one on it.  This
is NOT absolutely necessary!  Using the commands described by Bob and
cycling through them will clear up most problems, IMHO.

2.  It is better to get the crypto packages separately from the KDE
metapackage.  I would do a "apt-get -t unstable kde" first and let it
complete, THEN do a "apt-get -t unstable kdebase-crypto" as a separate
run.

Have a look at the left of your kicker panel (assuming it's at the

hanging in konqueror

[Justin R. Miller]

I recently started having a problem where konqueror in file browsing
mode will take a long time to show the contents of a folder.  Even
reloading the current view will take two or three seconds before any
icons are shown.  Also, the gear spinner stops during this hang, and the
window and its menus are inaccessible as well.  This happens for every
single directory in this window.  

Other times, things will work fine.  It seems that these times are only
when occasionally when new windows are started, and then all windows
become ok.  

This doesn't seem to have any relation to style, whether previews of any
sort are enabled, icon type, or directory size.  

This seemed to have started a few weeks ago, but I can't put my finger
on anything specific that would have changed, besides pretty much daily
sid updates.  

Any ideas?

I am running Konqueror version 2.2.2 here and this plugin
works...mostly. I have trouble with one site that Netscape and Mozilla
don't have problems with.  It seems to be a problem on their end with
the code used to re-direct to the Flash startup screen.  I can get it
running if I use the full path to their Flash startup.  All other sites
I have visited that use Flash seem to work as advertised.

In Konqueror can you see the "Flash" plugin listed.  If not have it scan
your system for plugins.  You can check this under .

Also in the Konqueror   tab, make sure you have the plugins enabled.

Ivan, I am back with my list of "nits" for your consideration.  Same old
stuff...klisa doesnt work properly plus a suggestion on the initial
(startup) wallpaper on the main kde screen.  All of these suggestions &
nits apply to both the ALPHA and i386 arches.  All are confirmed on the
most recent packages from SID updated as of yesterday, 28 Nov 01.

Problem #1.  Clicking on "Local Network" will only find the "localhost"
and no other network hosts.  This remains as such even after configuring
klisa in Control Center--> Network --> Lan Browsing.  Investigation
reveals that when klisa is configured this way, it will ALWAYS save the
lisarc file in /etc/lisarc.  However, the klisa initscript in
/etc/init.d/klisa is set to read its configuration info from
/etc/kde2/lisarc.  Therefore the updated local config information in
/etc/lisarc is never read.  This problem appeared in KDE 2.2.X, and was
not present in KDE 2.1.2.
  

FIX to #1.  There are probably better ways to do this, but I moved the
supplied /etc/kde2/lisarc file out of the way and created a symlink to
the /etc/lisarc file and re-started klisa.  It will now "see" the other
computers on the LAN.  I tried the symlink the other way (from
/etc/lisarc --> /etc/kde2/lisarc) but when I configured the network "Lan
Browsing" again, the symlink was removed and a new /etc/lisarc file was
created.

Problem #2.  Clicking on the (+) sign beside the "Local Network" icon
will produce this error: "Cannot find parent item lan://localhost/ in
the tree.  Internal Error".  Blind investigation here have revealed the
"URL" line in the
/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/remote/lan.desktop file is set
to "URL=lan:/".  Changing this to read "URL=lan://localhost/" will
restore normal behavior and clicking on the (+) sign beside the "Local
Network" icon will expand to a sub-tree of all the LAN comuters found. 
This problem appeared in KDE 2.2.X, and was not present in KDE 2.1.2. 
BTW, I have found similar bug reports on the KDE bug list from other
distros (SuSE,Mandrake).  This would indicate this may be more of a KDE
"generic" problem than just a Debian version problem.

FIX to #2.  For all accounts that already have a /.kde/ directory,
the local sysadmin will have to manually edit the
/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/remote/lan.desktop file and
make this change to make the system work correctly.  

HOWEVER, for new accounts and/or new installs of KDE where there is NOT
an existing .kde directory, if the
/usr/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/remote/lan.desktop file contains this
edit, then it will be applied to each new KDE setup created.  This
change also will allow deletion of old ~/.kde directories and
re-generation of a corrected lan.desktop file automatically. This is
something to consider for the final package if a better solution is not
found.  

PROBLEM #3.  The initial background is set to display the "Debian.jpg"
wallpaper, however this wallpaper is never shown when first starting up
KDE and going through the new setup wizard.  I can later get it to
display by first turning off the wallpaper setting (none) in Control
Center --> Look & Feel --> Background and applying that new config, THEN
redoing the above and selecting the Debian.jpg wallpaper and applying it
again.  This same thing has shown up on 4 different computers here over
multiple installs (> 6) of KDE 2.2.2 .

FIX to #3.  (Suggested).  Since the wallpaper is not currently being
shown anyway, why not just set the default wallpaper to "none".  This
will possibly save some memory for users will limited memory resources.

Submitted for your consideration.

Cheers,
-Don Spoon-

Confirmed!  It now reads and WRITES lisarc to /etc/kde2/lisarc with
klisa 2.2.2-3.  Thanks!

The "problem" with clicking on the + beside the "Local Network" icon
remains.  You still get the error message unless you modify the
lan.desktop file's URL setting.  This seems to be the more "generic" KDE
problem with other distros that I saw on the KDE bug list.  It worked
fine in KDE 2.1.2 with the "URL=lan:/" setting.  Something changed in
the KDE config files somewhere, I suspect.

My appologies, Ivan!  

I spoke without checking it out fully.  I just removed and re-installed
the new version, and indeed the change IS in the
/usr/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/remote/lan.desktop file.  I guess I
got caught in the trap that these sort of changes don't propagate to the
"user" .kde files until you re-generate the .kde files, or change it
manually.  I just fired it up the first time and got the error and wrote
the note without looking too deeply.  My bad  [ Carefully extracting

Thanks again!

Along with the possiblility of "bad" video drivers, you might also want
to consider a "hardware" problem.  I recently experienced similar
behaviour when I put KDE on a bare-bones DEC Alpha machine with 64 Megs
of memory.  (This is equivalent to 16 or 32 Megs in a i386 machine.)  In
my case, it appeared that the system was doing a LOT of disk-swapping to
the swap file, but I never could see the swap partition being accessed. 
Someone mentioned that it might be due to some excessive memory page
swapping.  The symptoms disappeared when I upgraded the memory to 256
Megs.  

In your case, 128 Megs of memory should be sufficient (I have a i386
machine here running KDE with that amount), BUT if something is wrong
with your current memory stick and the machine is NOT "seeing" all 128
Megs, then you could be pushing it a bit.  One thing I noticed on my DEC
Alpha, is that GNOME would run OK, but KDE wouldn't.  This lead me to
initially believe it was a KDE software problem, but it wasn't!  The
"problem" was that KDE required more memory to work than GNOME.  You
might try firing up GNOME (if you have it installed) and see if it
happens there.  This might help you narrow down the "problem" a bit.

I can only guess, but I heard that are systems where an shared library

If some kde-app is using libpng directly then an "enhanced" script may
brake these, if qt does no longer link against libpng, as any upstream
source would most likely not link directly against it as the normal
script does it.
But I'm again guessing and do not know if there is a real chance for
this or if the maintainer did simply not realize it. And perhaps there
is some other reason for directly linking...

HELP! - NFS Browsing in KLISA

[Donald R. Spoon]

I just started playing around with the NFS browsing section in KLISA and 
have run into a problem.  The other sections of KLISA work fine (SMB, 
FTP, HTTP).  I am using KLISA 2.2.2-11 from unstable.

I have setup a NFS "export" on another computer (legolas), and am trying 
to access it using KLISA. I can manually mount the NFS export on my 
computer as both "root" and as a "user", so I think I have the basic NFS 
setup correct... but don't know for sure.

 My "problem" is that I can access it via KLISA when logged in as root, 
but not as a user.  As a user, I can "see" the NFS folder on legolas, 
but I get a message stating "Authorization failed, legolas 
authentication not supported" when I click on the NFS folder in KLISA. 
When logged in as root, I don't get this message and am able to connect 
and browse to my heart's content.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I 
have the export manually mounted or not...the KLISA behavior is the same.

From the above observations, I presume there is a permission or 
authoriztion problem somewhere, BUT I can't seem to figure out where. 
The "export" on legolas is a new directory (/pub) and is owned by root, 
group "staff", and has full permissions (chmod 777).  I am a member of 
the "staff" group on both machines.

I am a novice to NFS...this is my first attempt to get it going, so I 
may have overlooked something in the basic setup of the NFS system.  If 
anyone out there has this running/working on KLISA, I would really 
appreciate some pointers!!  HELP!

TIA,
