Received Tiger in the mail today and because I don't have a dvd burner in my
iBook I'll have to use their exchange program to get the OS in cds.  I find

I'm still fighting slow access when mounting my office G5's hard drive onto
the desktop of my laptop at home (cablemodem connection). I'm told that
apple file sharing is not efficient over the internet; how about NFS - does
Panther offer NFS, and if so, should I be using that? Any ...
