Hello,

I'm having a problem getting a linux server correctly configured for the grade school my kids attend. I'm hoping that someone in this group has the answer. The network uses a Linux server with netatalk and HFS-0.7.8 installed. I am able to mount an HFS cdrom on the Linux server from a Performa 6112 (system 7.5.1) connected via Ethertalk. The files icons show up correctly when the drive is opened on the Mac desktop - this works fine.

Here is the problem: If I try to run an application from the mounted cdrom drive, some applications work partially - and some don't work at all. The Mac error messages say basically that it can't find the cdrom at the "internal" location. Like it forgot that it launched the application from the ethertalk shared disk.

I'm not experienced with appletalk but assumed that it would be normal to run applications that reside on remote disks. Is this assumption wrong? What am I missing and how do I set it up correctly?

Thanks for any help you can send my way.

Regards, Mark Slovick
