Hey guys....been watching this with much interest..

I have no experience whatsoever with nfs....but I too; like Richard have 
used interlink and intersrv.

Why not a PLIP install?

Laplink cables are not terrible expensive, and it ain't fast but plip 
seems to work as well as anything else of this genre......;-)    This is 
definitely not a newbie friendly install; but  the lack of a cd drive 
will cause one to go to extreme measures to get an install to work.

Tiny Linux uses PLIP to get Slack 4 installed on older boxes....why not us??

Just my 2 cents.....G
