I'm not sure how the CIFS server/share and username/password should be specified there, especially as the parameter is originally meant for NFS. nfsroot=//server/share? nfsroot=\\server\share? nfsroot=\\\\server\\share? nfsroot=cifs://server/share? There are a lot of ways to try it, and most likely only one will be the correct one. ;-) Add to that the username/password fields, and you might get nfsopts=user:foo,pass:bar or nfsopts=username:foo,password:bar or nfsopts='user=foo,pass=bar' or nfsopts='username=foo,password=bar' combined with any of the above nfsroot parameters, or maybe nfsroot=cifs://foo:bar@server/share Quite a few options to try out and a lot of potential for wasted time and needless frustration. And as you mentioned (not that I wouldn't have been aware of it previously) ... > So it is supposed to be supported or to have been supported at some > point. ... debian-live sure is a "moving target", which adds to the potential for wasted time/needless frustration. So I was hoping that someone else had already solved the riddle, or that I was just too stupid to find the example in the docs. -Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
