On that note, we use NeXT's NfsExtend script for making the extended 2.1
release available to the 105 and 200 mb machines on our network.

[For those not familiar with it, NfsExtend simply adds a NFS mount of the
server's root directory to the client's NetInfo database and then makes a
zillion symbolic links to all the missing files.
E.g., "ln -s /NeXTMount/bin/cc /bin/cc" and so on.]

Hopefully NeXT has an updated version of this script ready to distribute.
It shouldn't be very different, but I'm sure several things have been
added,
deleted, or moved.  Does anyone know if NeXT is going to have a 3.0
version
of NfsExtend?  Maybe it's even on the CD.
