mounting cifs from the installer
by timsoft from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DPAS)
Hi all,
I want to use the slackware64 15.0 installer media for some data recovery,
so, I boot to the dvd, bring the network up with dhcpcd (dhcp client), create a mount point, and attempt to mount the cifs/samba mount from my local server (ip obfuscated) Code:dhcpcd
mkdir /mnt/smb1
mount //x.y.z.q/myshare /mnt/smb1and it gives the error Quote:
how can I mount cifs shares from the install media ?
note: I have no problems post installation, but for data recovery, the point is I want the data off the drive, so I can't install anything. (and just in case anyone suggests just plug the drive into another pc, it is an old ide drive, and is not recognised with my sata-ide adapter, but is readable on the old pc.)
