- Sure, do an install of the base system on the small machine, then
- reboot and NFS mount the /usr from the server over /usr on the client.
- Then shutdown and reboot. Now look at the access times for everything in
- /usr and see what wasn't used getting the system up enough to run NFS.
- Delete the stuff you don't need.
-
- USE CAUTION since there may be a few things you don't need but would
- sure like to have if the server is down, and there might be something
- accesses by root in some way that doesn't reset the access time. This is
- a mentod for quickly finding likely candidates, not a cure.
-
- Don't move /tmp and swap to the server, it really beats the net and
- hurts performance.
-
- You may also want to add another 8MB of memory to get more buffering.
