Not sure if this is the same...
apt-get works fine for me on my diskless NFS-Root computers. Perhaps
it is because I use the "nolock" option? Or perhaps it is because I am
using the user level NFS server, and not the kernel level NFS server?
The only problem I have had is the slink version of apt-get which cannot
move files after it downloads them - this has been fixed in the potato
version.
I have never tried using the cache directory by multiple computers.
