Hello,
IŽve got a little problem setting up a fileserver with SuSE Linux 6.0. The hard- and software ist installed properly, but all my important data is on a 13GB-FAT32-harddisk which is currently located in one of my Win98-Workstations. Is there any possibility to mount this harddrive into my Linux System? The computers are connected through a 100Mbit/s-Intranet. But the networkŽs working fine, thats not the prob. It would be nice if somebody here can help me. Thanx.

Hi Gerrit, You could do two things: 1.Make your Linux server a Samba server and transfer your files onto to it 2.Install the harddrive of your Windows machine physically in your Linux machine and mount the FAT32 partitions and optionally transfer the files to the Linux-partitions. The first option ofcourse makes most sense because you say you're going to use you Linux server as a fileserver, for (my guess) Windows workstations. I really don't mean to rude or impolite but there is to much to explain about Samba if you haven't read the Samba howtos & faqs. You can start your exploration of Samba here: http://de.samba.org/samba/samba.html If you're interested in a manual I can send you the O'Reilly book on Samba in a pdf-file. If you got any more questions, please feel free to ask this list. Hope this helps, grtjs, Marcel -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
