I hear you on the lack of time! I don't remember which method you used

I'd be more concerned with the fact that the Linkstation (and Kuro Box)
are a bit lean in the CPU/RAM department, and even though I'm running
6.2.2 with MySQL on my Kuro, I could imagine 6.5 would begin to reach
the bounds of tolerability on the thing.
I'm hoping there's a Kuro 3 out by the tim

Okay, that doesn't sound so ominous after all. In fact it seems

Just not providing compiled modules (which seems to be true for various
Linux distros on conventional PCs), or something else?
That's correct. We simply can't ship precompiled modules/binaries and keep
those up to date for every distro/hardware platform
Hmm, this does sound ominous. After reading the exchange in the bug
report my first reaction is: why not put development tools on your LS
so you can build the necessary modules? But presumably you have your
reasons not to.
I'd be happy to share compiled modules with you, but I'm not sure how

I've seen that, but the provisos that always accompany it make me way

It's older than what's under "classical" on samba.org... 2.2.9

Which reminds me, I've got a question while I'm here - right now the
music library is on a 200GB NTFS external hard drive. I want to be

FAT32 is the only format that can be written from both system. Just format

Actually, I have configured a samba share under SlimCD that I can see

So it seems this is problem with the charse

Hi,
I just heard through one of my bug reports
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3420) that slimdevices was

Let me ask you one question: what do you want to do with linux on your
PC ?
If you plan to install a linux distribution on a PC that will only be
used to act as the slimserver, you should try the slimCD and install
it. There is only a few files to configure ant it is quite easy !

I believe, IMHO, YMMV, and all that, that the most important reason to
select any distribution is that you have a buddy running it.
Having a friend that you can call when you get lost is priceless
Aaaagh, I'm going under! It's going to take me weeks to do enough
reading to understand what I'm into here.
So if I understand, the RPM is no good to me with the Ubuntu distro -
maybe I should switch to a Redhat distro for ease of use?(with
Slimserver, anyway) My CLI days are way behind me (hard t
