Hi everyone,
im new to Linux and have a question.
I have an hp pavilion ellite desktop,it really rocks,and i also bought an hp personal media drive to use as a backup drive.
How do i set this drive up so it can be shared in order for me to backup my remote laptop to this drive?
Any Help would be appreciated,
Thanks

You should install the nfs-kernel-server package on the desktop and
the nfs-client package on your laptop. With YaST (Network Services =>
HFS Server), you can then get the desktop computer to offer whatever
directory on the external drive that you wish to allow the laptop to
mount. Once mounted, the NFS (for Network File System) volumes behave
just like any other mounted device.
thanks for the quick reply,ill do that
now i have another question if you don’t mind
i bought an HP Pavilion Elite M9500F and i cant get suse to install on it,it works very well with my toshiba lappy,i think it has something to do with the raid hard drive,it gives me errors after starting to install saying that it exited with a status code because it had trouble creating/deleting a partition?
I do know how to partition,but since this is a raid hard drive i don’t know where to begin,right now im using fedora 11 on it.
Thanks

What drivers does Fedora 11 use? Post the output of lsmod.
