Should be installed by default, just point your browser to: https://localhost:10000 >From there it's pretty much self-explanatory, but if there's anything you're not sure of, let us know! To transfer files and mount shares, start with LinNeighborhood, if it's not already installed, should be on the MDK CD's. You can make it even easier and use LinNeighborhood to export a "mountscript" which will then automagically mount the SMB shares when you need them. Mount the share using LN, then under "options" choose "export mountscript". Then you can bind a launcher on your panel or desktop to mount (and unmount) the share. If you use KDE, I believe what I described above might even be built right into Konqueror, but, uh, I'm no expert on KDE ;-) -- HaywireMac ++ ICQ # 279518458 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ All hope abandon, ye who enter here! -- Dante Alighieri
