Cant deactivate NFS on a diskless box. Diskless workstations can't upgrade lenny (or sid at this point).
And I can't even chroot into the diskless tree on the server because /proc will expose mounts. (Maybe if I run the tree as a vserver it wont see the mounts and will work...hmm...) I think my work around will be hacking the install script, or just futzing with /etc/mtab for a few seconds to fool the script! Kludge win! Judging by the solutions suggested in previous messages, using NFS is some sort of low-skill admin style and should be avoided. Reality however is that diskless workstations are less than entirely uncommon, and a proper solution would be nice. (I mean, pretty much everything else works for upgrading on a diskless box - I just did a huge dist-upgrade of 400+ packages that all worked except mount, why not fix the one package?) /kc -- Ken Chase - k...@heavycomputing.ca - 416 897 6284 Heavy Computing - Clueful Server Colocation at 151 Front St. W Toronto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
