[LUGSB] samba

[Sarang Lakare]

If you want to just access files on a windoze n/w then all you need is 
samba-client software installed + some GUI.

I use Komba2 for this purpose. 

On mandrake, all you need to do is "urpmi samba-client komba2" and you are 
done! or go through mandrake control center and install the two.

There are other GUIs too.. you can use LinNeighborhood or you can even access 
a share directly from konqueror. Simply type smb://MachineName/ShareName
