Re: NFS server on iPAQ

Hi,
    you can actually grab all the files (binaries, config, etc) from any of
the 6 skiff machines and put them in their respective paths in the iPAQ.
Then make some amendments to the config files or create the necessary
startup files (eg. those in /etc/init.d) and you should be able to get it
running. It worked for me.
