I've been using the Knoppix 5.1 live CD to boot client machines up so that I can make/restore images using partimage by mounting a windows share directory.
The normal commands i've been using and still works is as follows
sudo su
cd /mnt
mkdir windows
mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=mypass //myserver/images /mnt/windows
Once i started using the Knoppix 6 CD using the same command, i get an error message saying that smbfs is an unknown file type. the error says
mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'
I've read all kinds of posts about using cifs or ntfs-3g and other file system types and I haven't had any luck. I even tried options adding the windows domain but no luck.
Any thoughts on why its different? I like the 3d Desktop Environment on the Knoppix 6 cd and im currently downloading the 5.3 dvd iso hoping its similar, but i'd also like to be using the latest version of Knoppix. BTW is there is Knoppix 6 live dvd loaded with more extras or is that the same as 5.3 dvd?
