Hi, sorry I've got a large backlog of mail at the moment. I guess your classes started already :( On Sat, Aug 30, 2003 at 12:26:00AM +0300, Vaidrius Petrauskas wrote: > We here at university have 9 classes of Debian - 6-8 computers in each. > They all use one shared installation (mixed sid/testing/stable) over > NFS.

Maybe you could test if the problem still occurs on 1.1? If not, please file a bugreport so the problem doesn't get forgotten. This is the first report I have seen about this type of installation, so as you say there is nothing relevant in the readme. You might like to look in OOo IssueZilla for issues with the word NFS in their summary. Chris
