linux 2.2.x and smbmount 2.0.5a: Win95 bugfix?

[Stephen L Arnold]

On 12 Oct 99, "Keith G. Murphy" <keithmur at mindspring.com> had 
questions about linux 2.2.x and smbmount 2.0.5a: Win95 bugfix?:

I'm not sure about the smbmount stuff; have you tried "make 
xconfig" for configuring the kernel?  Some of the options are 
disabled, depending on whether you specify them as modules or 
included in the kernel itself.  At least you'll be able to see if 
that option still exists...

If your samba box does not have a working Xconfig, you can install 
the VNC server and run the X kernel config from a windoze box.
