Sounds like you would like an smbtree.dsl extension.

It would be smaller than the full-blown samba.dsl extension, which includes the graphic MS Windows network browser called LinNeighborhood.

xmms is more useful. but having an mydsl would be good to get it back.

what about smbclient.lua?

smbclient is still there, just smbtree is gone.

I know there is a samba....but smbclient is (almost) useless without smbtree.
I also like xmms so let's say (sorry john) the lua media player realy sux...it was working / notworking for some files...

BTW LinNeighborhood sux too because it's GUI...

Well,

I'm not speaking for John or anyone else but I assume that smbtree was removed because it used up a decent amount of space and the masses wanted xmms back.

So this leaves a few options:

(1) Increase distro size beyond 50MB - not gonna happen.
(2) Delete something else, instead - I assume that smbtree was not randomly chosen so there was a reason that the maintainers decided that this was the best choice for removal.
(3) Create a smbtree.dsl extension and use it.
(4) Create a custom remaster with smbtree added and something else yanked.
(5) Use an older version of DSL.
(5) Use LinNeighborhood.
(6) Write down your windows computer and sharenames on a piece of paper and type them in by hand.

I'm sure I misssed one or two options but that's the best that I can do right now.

I'm bit lazy (as every pc user,BFU or guru) so 6 is not my choice
Everything must first time. So I need to force myseft to try to make the exetension
