Hi all
I hope you can help me ... When I boot up Linux-Mandrake 7.1 it naturally
looks for both my hard drive and CD ROM, but it can't find them, so it
starts Kudzo. (Which it also does when my external modem is switched off -
that's a real nuicance!) There it gives me the three options:
[homes] is a special share. You don't need to specify a path to the files.
My samba share looks like this:
[homes]
comment = personal files
browseable = no
read only = no
create mode = 0754 # so files created in the user's public web
directory are readable by others

What does the extras disc have on it anyway?
There are 300+ packages on it. IF you're only running a simple

And, when I setup 7.1, cant I update it with the mandrake update thingey to
7.2 ans then run the 7.2 extras disc?

OK, usually, .gz files are also what are called "tarballs". If after the
