DSL is GREAT, but it won't do the one thing I downloaded it for.

I need the ability to mount smb shares.

Also, us users of DSL need the root password so we can do some of the things we would like to do.

Thanks

I haven't had any problem reading smb shares on my wife's Win98 box from DSL. Try this (replacing the obvious);

mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test

Check the FAQ's: < http://damnsmalllinux.org/faq.html#root > There is no root password by default.
