NFS will do what you want. "man exports" on either box to understand how to setup your file system exports in "/etc/exports" and then exportfs -a to activate the new file shares on OS X. You may have to start NFS sharing on Knoppix manually by running "/etc/init.d/nfs start" from the root terminal before running the "exportfs -a" command to export(share) all the shares listed in "/etc/exports". To mount an NFS share the basic syntax is "mount -t nfs -o rw,noatime,user,noauto hostname:/path/to/share /mount/point". The basic syntax for an export in "/etc/exports" is "/path/to/share 192.168.0.0/16(rw,no_root_squash,insecure)"[/b]

You can use the following URL if you are running sshd on your mac "sftp://macip/path/to/knoppix/user/readable/directory" in kde's konqueror Location bar. You can also use sftp on the command line.

But it sounds like what you want to do is create your shares with SWAT the web front end to Samba on Knoppix then start samba ("/etc/init.d/samba start" in the root console). On Mac OS X you may be able to create shares that are accesible to Windows machines from the front end. If not, you can always install samba on Mac OS X. There are packages that work with the installer on Mac OS X available on the internet. Just search on Google. Mac OS X lets you browse SMB shares. You can use smb://hostname/sharename/path in Konqueror on the Knoppix side.

For a quick and dirty read-only share method. Do a web share on the Mac OS X side. You can do a web share on the Knoppix side by right clicking on a directory and bringing up the properties dialog and going to the sharing tab and selecting share.

You may want to see what lan:/ shows you when you type it in knoqueror to see what shows up. I haven't had much success using the lan:/ URL though even though I run SLP and lisa and reslisa and have them correctly configured. Although the slp stuff makes network printing from linux using cups a zero configuration nobrainer to print to any printer on the network. The printers just show up.

--You'll **have** to get used to the command line if you want to do things in Linux. Knoppix is about as safe as they come - don't be afraid to type things in and experiment!
