Not sure if this is the same... apt-get works fine for me on my diskless NFS-Root computers. Perhaps it is because I use the "nolock" option? Or perhaps it is because I am using the user level NFS server, and not the kernel level NFS server? The only problem I have had is the slink version of apt-get which cannot move files after it downloads them - this has been fixed in the potato version. I have never tried using the cache directory by multiple computers. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
