Networking :: Samba Client ?

Ain't it just.

Nearly a complete distro too.
It does everything I want, except run flight sims at 1600x1200

And Yes I have tried Flightgear .......but not on DSL.

I need to be able to mount smb shares while booted from the CD.

apt-get install smbfs gives me the following errors:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2 No such file or directory)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

Can I get the root password so I can use this thing? I really like the compactness but the main thing I want it for is to be able to mount shares from a samba server and move data

root wouldn't actually be required if it would let me mount smb shares as-is.

Thank you

If you want to mount smb shares while booting from a CD my advice is to try out some of the other mini-distributions that include a full Samba support with filesystem extensions. Maybe Feather Linux or Puppy Linux?

Other option is to remaster DSL to include smbfs (will make the iso too large to fit on a 50MB business card format).

Good Luck.
