| 157759 | 2003-07-06 00:43:00 | You don't mention what sort of networking you are hoping to employ. File Sharing or access??? The easiest way to network Linux with Windows for file sharing is by using Samba. I am not sure whether Knoppix has Samba on it and a quick check of their site suggests that it doesn't. Further details about Samba can be found here (au1.samba.org) Samba is primarily used for file sharing and uses the linux machine as a file server for the Windows network. This kinda of means that you need to think of making the linux a permanent install :O |
