Re: smb kernel support

[Matthew Yee-King <yeeking@no-future.com>]

are you talking about windows partitions or windows network shares?

sounds like you mean windows network shares (samba). if so, you need to specify the smbfs mount type, not smb, e.g.

mount -t smbfs -o username=foo //a_pc/a_share /localmountpoint

not /sure/ which packages you'll need. 

apt-get install smbclient

should do the trick. 

if its a local windows hard drive partition, 

mount -t vfat/fat/etc... /dev/partition_name /localmountpoint

cheers
