ok, I apologize. Maybe I didn't say the proper words:
when I have stacker installed on a pc, and try to install PC NFS 2.0,
(I mean, the PC DOS package to access the TCP/IP networks and NFS
services installed on it )
then there is a exception at boot time (since pcnfs.sys and sockdrv.sys
must be loaded when the pc boots), the exception gives: "divide overflow"
and nothing to do from here. as long as I uninstall those drivers, no
problem. the only way we found after a lot of tests was !uninstalling
stacker! :-)
I think this must be a hardware problem with the specific brand of pc
I have on the network.
So, there is no problem at all with the NFS service, the problem is on the pc,
with the drivers for managing the network interface card.
as long as I know, using FTP Interdrive is ok with stacker, as well as
other softwares with NFS capabilities.
maybe someone using PC-NFS 2.0 and stacker have had the same problem?
