Is there a way to export a diskette drive to another server? Like doing an NFS on the CDROM. I have some software from a vendor on floppy but the server that needs it installed only has cdrom. The way the software install is written, I cannot just untar the files and ftp them over. The script keeps requesting the next floppy diskette. I haven't found a way around it in the script. Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic.

mount the floppy and export it (add it to /export on that machine)
then use mount on the other machine to get access to it Mike

I did a reverse mount. Instead of trying to get the floppy drive to the server, I brought the server to the floppy drive. I NFS mounted the filesystem to the server that had the drive and did the install from there. Remember, amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic.
