How do you automatically mount a Samba share?

[Colin Yates]

Unfortunately XFM is completely written from scratch by Xandros.

You can do something similiar in Gnome by selecting Computer -> Networks
-> Go, and entering in smb://server/share.

However, this is not mapped to a particular directory.  If you want to
map to a directory you can do "smbmount" through a console.

Do google smbmount and it will give you all the info you need ;)

Cheers,

Colin
