Thanks for your reply Andrew,

Pity about now being able to mount Novell directly and as you said 
concerning linux I wouldn't want to try porting their program. Just 
considering the hassle I have to get plain POSIX program to compile on 
linux. Bah!

I was informed by our local Novell person that he can install nfsd on it, 
but doesn't know anything more than that. This wouldn't include the 
printers however. I must look at samba as well as it sounds quite useful.


Concerning ATAPI cdr's I found the patch as I said but it didn't compile 
and I couldn't be arsed to spend hours getting it to compile as I assumed 
it'd be put into NetBSD anyhow. But nobody knows if it has :)

As for OpenBSD? Never heard of it, and since I've run NetBSD for some 4 
years, well, it's what I know ;)
