SuSE installed it's data at /usr/share/openuniverse with the config file conf/ou.conf symlinked to ../../../../etc/ou.conf (=> /etc/ou.conf), which was missing within my diskless setup. The problem is, ls on the client side complains about an I/O error, when listing the conf/ dir. After removing this symlink (within the server), ls is OK within the client. Trying to copy servers /etc/ou.conf file to /usr/share/openuniverse within the client, cp complains about to many levels of symlinks?!? (/usr is shared) May be I missed/confused some patches. I could send you a plain copy of the interresting modules, if you like. Somehow, the dir entry on the client survived the rm from the server. Compiling/KDE 2.2.2 Desktop is working fine so far. Any ideas? Cheers, Hans-Peter
