View Full Version : Trouble with Samba

I'm trying to set up a samba server using Knoppix running from the cd
(version 9-05-03).

When I follow the instructions in "Samba - Quick," I have trouble browsing /mnt. If I'm browsing a Linux partition from a Windows 98 machine, I can see the files but cannot make changes even though the partition is mounted read/write. With a FAT32 partition, also mounted read/write, I can't browse it at all.

My ultimate goal is to fully share the FAT32 partition only. Does anyone know what I'm missing?

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere.

Oops. It wasn't working because I had a Knoppix swap file on the partition I was trying to share.

Carry on.
