Create a subdirectory of /home/httpd/html on winfo2 called images (or
whatever) and then mount /var/data/ldm/images on wxbox as 
/home/httpd/html/images.  Then in your HTML files, have the McIDAS GIFs that 
you want to display
point to that directory.  For example for an HTML file in /home/httpd/html
you coule have a line:

<A HREF=images/GOES8IR.GIF>GOES-8 IR image</a>

If the images subdirectory is mounted to /var/data/ldm/images on wxbox,
the you should be able to display it no problem.

You should be able to mount the wxbox directory from the command line
as root, just to test this out.  Once you get it working the way you
want, use linuxconf to set this up permanently (under the File systems,
Access nfs volume option).  I would set the directory to be read-only
for security (under Options tab).

Let me know if you have other questions about this.

Many thanks, Don.  It works fine.
