I downloaded dsl 4.2.5 Embedded and did a harddisk install under VMWare.

The idea is to set DSL up as an NFS server for my Embedded ARM board. (since I can't find a free windows NFS server :angry:

)

According to the /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server I need;
rpc.nfsd
rpc.mountd
exportfs
None of these files are present on my system.

Can I still setup my DSL as an NFS server without these files? I think not...

See the nfs-kernel-server.dsl extension in Testing category, it includes just those files to let you run a NFS server.

I got the nfs-kernel-server.dsl from

< http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....testing >

Working fine now!

Thanks Curaga!

Side note: free as in open-source or free as in no cost to use?

If the latter, MS's solution is there... see SFU (windows services for unix)

Hey, hey, hats what are you doing?
Just when we got another convert, are you throwing him/her back to the wolves?
