Hi all,
I have a few ix86's sharing NIS & NFS on a LAN (with alphas and IBMs, but no matter) and i'd like to install potato2.2.17 on my 6 PCs. The problem is i just can't figure out how to install a file/application server properly. i use 'dselect'. i've got a partition for /usr only on my server where i want to install the applications, i installed as few things as possible on the clients (to keep some room for users' homes) and i mount server:/usr onto my client:/usr (or client:/usr/local?), but many applications stumble on my clients just because "libxxx.so... could not be found" or because many config files are _locally_ installed in /etc on the server (which is not shared, sure!)... For instance, do you install [xgw]DisplayManager locally or not? I would think it's not necessary. As well as for ssh[d] as long as i don't want to do any maintenance remotely. My main question is how to urge dselect (or dpkg) to install _all_ shareable things together so that i could mount that shared FS; Any solution?
