[newbie] Mdk 9.1- how to upgrade??
Title: Message Hi To be frank, it took me a few months to set up some of the "good stuff" in my "three-month old" mdk 9.0, like Exceed XDMCP remote login, Samba, hardware,network...etc. Basically I just finished making it a handy workstation andstarted to enjoy it. Right nowI am getting excited with the new features and upgraded performance from the latest Mdk 9.1. But I am really not sure -is there a way toupgrade without affecting all my previous configuration?I am not a guru in linux, and I know I am going to be mad if I have to go through the painstaking process again! :p I heard that by default mdk 9.1 installation does not change the original /home directory. But how about things I mentioned above? Shall I choose the option "upgrade" when installing? I really want to know - how you experts upgrade? ( I am sure you have donemuch more than me on your mdk 9.0!) Thanks, Shan

[newbie] Successful! Installing LinNeighborhood
Thanks everyone...for the prompt replies. This is by far the best maillist I have ever joined ! ;) I have smoothly installed the LinNeighborhood and started playing around. Will read more about the samba configuration using SWAT or webmin (domain, file sharing, rights and all these...), see if I can settle the file sharing task myself first. :) Thanks again!

[newbie] Configuring smbfs
Hi, I have a mdk 9.0 box running but I am facing some problems when trying to set up samba file sharing NT servers can be viewed clearly in the Mandrake Control Center under samba mount points option. I can see the online folder (from a Win NT workstation) which I want to access as well. However, when I pressed mount, it always tells me failed. I have chosen user mode in the mount options. I doubt that this has to do with my smb.conf file, as I did not do any configuaration for it. But I am not so sure how to carry on from here as there are so many options in the smb.conf file. I appreciate any advice! Many thanks! Shan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
