-
- I just spent some time this afternoon setting up a similar scenario,
- and it works fine. Infoexplorer looks for the database of libraries
- in the directory "/usr/lpp/info/$LANG", where LANG is your local language
- environment variable. You can mount the remote CD-ROM over this directory,
- or create a second directory and set LANG=new_dir before using Infoexplorer.
-
- I set up my system the second way so I could access things locally, or
- use the CD for artwork and obscure books.
-
- Hope it helps!
