i think your problem is that the kernel installed by default doesn't seem to support smbfs. if you're not completely attached to said kernel and want to join the rest of the 2.4 world, i recommend: # apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18 you may need to add a line to lilo.conf about initrd (not sure) before On Mon, Nov 25, 2002 at 04:58:38PM -0500, Tim Verry wrote: > I've never compiled any kernels.

Hopefully then I can figure out what went wrong. it probably is--if you're feeling adventurous: # apt-get install kernel-package kernel-source-2.4.18 the former has an excellent cmdline program make-kpkg which automates lots of the stuff and gives you a .deb package you can install with dpkg, and the latter is the actual source tree. i'd recommend reading up on the docs for both. hth sean > > I assume that it should have just been in the kernel, right?
