Hi

Thanks Tom for making the new binarys.

Here's what works for me.

Downloaded from add-ons:

smbfs.o.bz2
smbmnt.bz2
smbmount.bz2
smbumount.bz2

copied to /tmp

cd /tmp

bzip2 -d *.bz2

insmod ./smbfs.o

Then make links to the binarys from /usr/bin
(I'm sure there's an easier way of doing this bit)

ln -s ./smbmount /usr/bin/smbmount
ln -s ./smbumount /usr/bin/smbumount
ln -s ./smbmnt /usr/bin/smbmnt

make a mount point 

mkdir /smb

mount a share called linux on a windows machine with ip 192.168.0.1

smbmount //192.168.0.1/linux /smb -o guest

the '-o guest' is so that smbmount doesn't ask for a password.

I know some people will think this is obvious but to those that don't which
included me until this morning, hope this helps.

Thanks again Tom.
