Greetings all, I'm totally new to the list, and I'm not even running Debian yet, but I have an idea that I'd like to bounce off the group: Consider that one of the major reasons that people don't use any operating system besides windows is because they need to *install* it. Most machines are

Do you mean pre-install Debian? That would be great! But it's still a ways off. Besides, we still need to convert the helpless masses of existing Win-doze users who are afraid to even *try* to install a new OS, even if it is more powerful and free. Jack From: "G.LeeJ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To:

No, Windows was just an example of an OS that people might want to migrate *away* from. There's no reason why someone running Linux, indeed Debian, could not run the same application. Even existing users of Debian could benefit from this by getting support from the community. More vital is the

This can be done using mount. I am not sure how secure this is. It doesn't seem very secure since the username and password are listed, maybe there is a better way. mount -t smbfs -o username=REMOTE_USERNAME,password=REMOTE_PASSWORD,uid=LOCAL_USERNAME,gid=LOCAL_GROUP, workgroup=WINDOWS_WORKGR

Thanks for pointing out that omission in my initial post, Nico. I had intended this system to be installed on a system already running some kind of OS. One of the major benefits of this system is that a windows user could, theoretically, download the P2P app, run it, and sit back while it tappe
