installing samba from Mandrake 9.2 CDs


I want to install samba from the distribution CDs (Mandrake 9.2).
Which files do I need to install. I have found three files so far: samba-client-2.2.8a-13mdk.i586.rpm samba-server-2.2.8a-13mdk.i586.rpm
samba-common-2.2.8a-13mdk.i586.rpm
I also don't know the correct command for installing, options, etcetera and where to intall to.
I am currently sharing a DSL connection with two Windows 98 machines. Now I want to share files and a printer.

Open a terminal window, cd to the directory containing the rpm files and type --

rpm -i samba-common-2.2.8a-13mdk.i586.rpm
rpm -i samba-server-2.2.8a-13mdk.i586.rpm
rpm -i samba-client-2.2.8a-13mdk.i586.rpm

If you get some complaints about dependencies, type, urpmi -i samba-server-2.2.8a-13mdk.i586.rpm instead.

Good luck,

I can't find one of the file dependencies for samba-common. Here's an excerpt:
[jay@141 RPMS]$ rpm -i samba-common-2.2.8a-13mdk.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libacl.so.1 is needed by samba-common-2.2.8a-13mdk

Where abouts is this file? I've tried all three disks in the Mandrake/RPMS directories.

I'm a big fan of Mandrake. I've been using it since 8.0.

One thing that bugs me is the default package installation based on whether you choose 'development' or 'multimedia station' or whatever during the upgrade or installation. If you don't choose development, then adding ANY package later on is absolutely impossible without running down a bunch of dependencies....

Now that that rant is over, try typing this:

rpm -i ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/9.2...-2mdk.i586.rpm

Just about everything on the CDs is in this directory:

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/9.2...Mandrake/RPMS/

rpm will work over ftp or http without a problem. Just type rpm -i <URL> and it'll install from the remote location.

good luck,

di11rod
