installing packages that comes with the kernel
 

Hi guys,

Newbee question again :)

I just install Slackware 12 in my box. I did a full install but just so happen I didn't include samba along with all other packages during fresh install. I know I have it already in my hard drive but I need to know how to compile or enable it or install it right from the very beginning.

Could somebody give me a simple step by step how to install it and also an idea how to start it after the installation?

I'll play the configuration myself once installed.


Thanks in advance.

Use your Slackware CD/DVD and "installpkg samba-3.0.25b-i486-1" then afterwards you can make sure it's executable by issuing "chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.samba" and start samba by issuing "/etc/rc.d/rc.samba start" -- all as root, of course.

Thanks a lot Bruce. I installed samba the way you post the procedure. Now I can access my WinXP box and vice versa.


Ciao,
Long live LQ whoooaaaa!
