Well I was able to pick a indy pretty cheap (R4400/200) with most bits
included... except media. The machine does have a fairly fresh install of
6.5.13, but for some reason the nfs packages are not installed. Which makes it
rather hard to use the machine as a workstation (which it does amazingly well
at otherwise).
So the question is how to remotely mount a file system? The machine
that the indy would be talking to mostly is a Sparc20 running solaris 2.9.
I've so far tried several different things,
a) trying to install DCE/DFS from sgi
the kernel components of the package seem to conflict with the
already installed kernel
b) netware
I'm not finding any free software out there that emulates a
netware server
c) appleshare
yet another package that I do not have a license for
Any ideas? I don't know if it's possible to just download the packages
from somewhere or if I need a complete set of media. Any other suggestions
for a way to mount a remote filesystem on irix would be greatly appreciated.
Jody
