Good evening you Guys, I've worked with Windows about 10 years. Now I want to build up an DSL Fileserver with Samba. But I don't know how to install Samba to DSL and which Samba I need (Debian Sarge or Woody, or an completly other...). I hope you can help me...
Thx
Steffen

If you want to do a hard drive install then you can use my tutorial. I have been working on a frugal tutorial (for about 6 months), but I just can't seem to get too excited about it. Maybe if a bunch of people bugged me I might do it... Anyway, see if this helps:

Thanks for your document. I just wanted to get Windows to "see" the DSL box so that I could monitor its Folding@Home process, and it worked nicely

Thx for your document. Changeing the smb.conf worked really fine, but When I type these commands in ATerminal(where is XTerminal?), it says "command not found". For sure I try the same as Superuser, but nothing changes. Plz help me;-)

Sorry, the newest DSLs have aterminal just type those commands in there. Also make sure that the samba.dsl is installed.

I have downloades Samba.info.dsl with MyDSL and installed this. The Network is working fine. Is in DSL something like "Software" in Windows intrigrated?
Thx

No the Samba.dsl is an addon package..however if you add the file to the iso file (using WinISO) or something like that...it will autoload at boot time..you can then edit the samba config file or whatnot
