Newbie and samba problems

[tonimontanna]

Ok, here I go.

I have installed a RedHat 7.0 server. I need to install Samba. I have the binery cd in the cd-rom and I type

/mount/mnt/cdrom or mount/mnt/cdrom ""And I receive ""
-----No file or directory"

Then I type /mnt/cdrom/ ""And I recieve ------/mnt/cdrom is a directory.


Now, I believe that the cdrom must be mounted right. It seems to be. So, I type in the command to start samba.

rpm -Uvh samba-*.rpm

I reiceve cannot open file there is no directory. Well, yea.


So, could someone throw a dog a bone and help this newbie out.

The command you want to use is:
mount /mnt/cdrom

edit: there is a SPACE between mount and /mnt/cdrom

Then:
cd /mnt/cdrom/RPMS
(not sure about the location of RPMS/ in RH7.0)

Yes- just use:
mount /dev/cdrom, or,

mount /mnt/cdrom

or whatever mnt convention your distro uses, then change to that directory and navigate through as normal.

Good luck with the SAMBA config!
