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.
