- Well, not really. Clicking on the Drives icon for the NFS drive now at least
- opens up the contents and you can click and run stuff. However, dragging
- and dropping from one NFS drive to another resulted in 0 length files
- on the desination drive. Yes, I did have r/w permissions oo both directories.
-
- I never bothered trying to/from local drives.
-
- I wonder if the Print Manager will ever support unix printer queues? Would
- be nice instead of lprmon, lpr, lprm, etc.
