- On that note, we use NeXT's NfsExtend script for making the extended 2.1
- release available to the 105 and 200 mb machines on our network.
-
- [For those not familiar with it, NfsExtend simply adds a NFS mount of the
- server's root directory to the client's NetInfo database and then makes a
- zillion symbolic links to all the missing files.
- E.g., "ln -s /NeXTMount/bin/cc /bin/cc" and so on.]
-
- Hopefully NeXT has an updated version of this script ready to distribute.
- It shouldn't be very different, but I'm sure several things have been
- added,
- deleted, or moved. Does anyone know if NeXT is going to have a 3.0
- version
- of NfsExtend? Maybe it's even on the CD.
