WalMart / Lindows Evaluation

[Ed Skinner]

    The server system ("xxx") uses a hard-assigned IP but, when browsing the 
web from that system, everything behaves normally. Also, I can telnet into 
that system from elsewhere (including the Lindows machine). I presume those 
successes mean the server system has its DNS and rpc.portmap stuff 
appropriately configured.
     I tried the NFS mount from a different client system (RH 7.2) to the 
same server and it worked fine. Only the Lindows machine has the 
slow-completing mount which appears to take four minutes.
