Ok, it's a beginning.. :-) thank you ! Nfs hasn't been designed for laptop, it's ok. But, appart from coda (which has a file size limit of 1 giga, so, useless in home networking), I know nothing that is fit for network file-sharing for laptop (the laptop isn't the server of course). I search a solution for that since years ! -- Stéphane Guedon page web : http://www.22decembre.eu/ carte de visite : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.vcf clé publique gpg : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.asc
