On each computer on the network there is an NFS server running, starting at bootup (edit the runlevel to enable that). In Suse Linux, NFS shares can be configured in YAST (NFS server configuration) or directly in /etc/exports file. Don't configure the remote root to act as local root! Shares should be configured to be accessed only from the local network 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0. /media/downloads/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(root_squash,sync) UIDs have to be the same on all computers for the permissions to work properly.

I deleted my root directory in an attempt to delete a file that was starting with the character "/". A crash of konqueror had left such impossible file in some subdirectory of /tmp. As root I played with some regular expresssions to delete it, but only managed to delete my root directory. Not completely (as the excessive disk activity made my soon realize my mistake), but sufficiently beyond repair.
