Hello Luggers, Does anyone know how to do = a NFS mount WITHOUT using tftp or dhcp or bootp? I have a kern= el compiled on a client machine having NFS support. I have a Embedded= root filesystem ready on the Nfs server and I have already exported its co= ntents. portmap, nfsd and mfslock are running on the Nfs serve= r. Now, if I mistake not, by passing appropriate arguments to = the bootloader (i.e.Grub in my case), we can make the kernel from the clien= t machine boot and mount the remote root filesystem(residing on the server) Is this actually possible? Can anyone provide me the l= inks? Raseel. [1] [ads.=] References 1. file://localhost/tmp/3D

Lets reach on consensus , and we hold the 8 th august meet at Onward Novell. let our luggers learn more on Novell. I totally disagree with Sir. Nagarjuna with all my respect for him, abt Redhat distributing CDs and other media, after all its a part of an exchange, and exchange between the Industry and our community, what use would this community would be of if we keep our selfs Isolated from the Industry. Our vision says knowledge sharing, which includes knowledge sharing with the Academicians, Industry, GNU users, Developers, and all of them whom we can think of. If Redhat can attract few more users by distributing freebies whats the hitch. let fools come to collect freebies, and the wise come to collect knowledge. About every months meetings my point of view would be:- 1. every alternate month lets keep our meeting in some of the leading academic colleges, so that more awareness can instilled among students, for they are the ones who shall carry this GNU movement further. (Remember catch them Young) 2. the alternative month venue could be any where, would be a good idea if its with the industry, and major open source players like novell and redhat. (So Novell India meet on 8th is an excellent Idea). for which some of us should really take initiative and help in organizing at various but different venues. So fellow LUGers lets make it at 8th Aug. at Onward Novell, andheri MIDC.

Your Comments?
by Amar Shah 29 Jul '04

I ask for your comments / suggestions on the following topics: 1) In 1993 John Gilmore of the Electronic Frontier Foundation said, "The Internet treats censorship as a defect and routes around it." Is this still true today? 2) Despite offering software for free, companies such as Netscape and MySQL AB have proven that you can make money from Open Source products. Is this a viable long-term business concept? Why or why not? 3) Google, eBay, Yahoo!, Microsoft... been there, done that. What's your favorite little-known website? thanks.. -Amar Shah
