    networking knoppix 3.4 and windows xp

    My boot drive died this morning and I am trying to recover some data using a knoppix cd. I have version 3.4 and I need to back files up over the network to my windows XP machine.

    Apparently i need to enable something called LISA but can't for the life of me find information on how to do this.

    Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

    open up a console (konsole on kde, i think)

    type "su" to become the root user

    type "mkdir /mnt/badgers" to make a folder to link to the network

    type "mount -t ntfs //windowsxpboxen/sharename /mnt/badgers -o dmask=777,umask=0666"

    you should be able to now access the named network share in konqueror, at /mnt/badgers, as if it were a local folder

    /etc/init.d/lisa start

    will start LISA for you

    Samba doesn't start by default so not sure directhex's command will work

    try also /etc/init.d/samba start

    make sure your network card is configured under knoppix first.

    Thanks, having problems getting root access, its asking for passwords, and of course I have no idea what they could be.

    Although this linux thing is pretty sexy, I think a dual boot setup is required when i get the new HDD

    you missed a slash - /mnt means "mnt in the root folder", "mnt" means "mnt in the current folder.

    and make sure you supply the correct name for the window pc, or ip address if you prefer.

    samba doesn't need to be running for smbfs. i don't even have samba installed.

    so if you are booting knoppix on the "damaged" windows PC

    you need to mount the damaged windows disk under Knoppix

    in which case

    mkdir /mnt/windows
    mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

    cd /mnt/windows

    you are now in your windows disk

    now ftp or remote connect to another server and copy off the files you want to save.
