So, > are there any major objections to adding samba onto our livecds?=20 Samba is not required to mount a SMB share, it just makes it easier and allows for more ability. I would venture to bet that the actual stumbling block is BusyBox's mount not being as full-featured as the real thing. Also, you can mount NFS without nfs-utils... it is just SLOW as hell in mounting, but it *will* mount. Personally, I think having the full-blown samba on the LiveCD will add *way* too much, unless we went and livecd/empty and livecd/rm'd everything that wasn't absolutely necessary for mounting. This does take us down a slippery slope, as we'll soon enough have users requesting us to keep the full package. I think it requires more investigation into why, exactly, mounting a SMB share does not work with the current LiveCD's. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering QA Manager/Games Developer Gentoo Linux Is your power animal a penguin? --=-3iO7+VbI4yyanm/0azFR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBA4abXkT4lNIS36YERAhrpAJ9gpgMg2Ar7YtX1nLZR1ygEZHS76wCeOOTM BzYTO+/V95swJYV31SiAVHA= =KyGV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-3iO7+VbI4yyanm/0azFR--
