Ok - I've finally got my new box up and running. In case it helps anyone else, this is how I set it up (on the basis of all the help):
1. Installed ubuntu 6.10 i386 desktop edition 2. In the terminal typed: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list added: deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main removed: # in front of the lines ending edgy universe exited 3. In the terminal typed: apt-get update apt-get install slimserver 4. (To add netbios) in the terminal typed: sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch/conf replacing hosts: files dns with hosts: file dns wins (exited) 5. In the terminal typed: sudo apt-get install winbind sudo mkdir /mnt/ls sudo apt-get install smbfs (Note that ls represents my linkstation) 6. To mount the drive, in the terminal typed: sudo gedit /etc/fstab (Added at the bottom:) //ls/share /mnt/ls smbfs username=UN,password=PWD 0 0 (substituting UN and PWD with the appropriate username and password respectively.) I'll have a go at alienbbc later, but... FIRST - ANY HELP WITH THE FOLLOWING?: Under windows I could put links (shortcuts) to several folders in a single folder and with slimserver pointing to the single folder, it would follow the links and find all the relevant files. However, if I use ubuntu slimserver, it doesn't follow those windows shortcuts. Is there an equivalent in ubuntu and, if so, how do I set them up? Thanks. -- MIBMIB ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MIBMIB's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9381 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31231 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
